“For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.”
For the Mighty One has done great things for me — holy is his name — the great things done are not specified here but implied: the virgin conception, the eternal throne, the divine sonship all announced in the preceding verses. The Mighty One (ho dynatos) is a title for God throughout the Psalms. Holy is his name (hagion to onoma autou) echoes Psalm 111:9 — the holiness of the divine name is the ground of the reliability of divine promises and the appropriateness of praise.
