The first two verses make it clear that Mary is seeking to magnify or lift up the Lord not herself. Her joy is in God and not herself, and her humility leads her to rightly give God the glory for all that happened to her. This also leads her to praise God for His acts of love and mercy towards His chosen people. The fact that all generations would call her blessed is not the result of anything that she did or merited, but God's gracious act.
46And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
47And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
48For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
49For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.
50And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
51He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
52He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.
53He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
54He hath helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;
55As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.
