SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:42
y exclam a gran voz, y dijo: Bendita t entre las mujeres, y bendito el fruto de tu vientre.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 1:42
Verse 42. Blessed art thou among women] Repeating the words of the angel, ver. 28, of which she had probably been informed by the holy virgin, in the present interview.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 42. And she spake out with a loud voice , etc.] So as that all in the house might hear; she spake with great vehemency of soul, and strength of affection, being under a very powerful impression of the Spirit of God: and said, blessed art thou among women ; the same words that the angel had said to her before, ( Luke 1:28) and blessed is the fruit of thy womb : this is a reason why she is called blessed, because her child was blessed; being in union with a divine person, who is God over all, blessed for ever; and who has all spiritual blessings in him, and is that seed, in which all nations of the earth were to be blessed; and so is both blessed in himself, and the source of all blessedness to others. The Jews say f80 , that the six measures of barley, Boaz gave to Ruth, ( Ruth 3:15) signified, that six righteous men should spring from her, and among, them the Messiah; who should be blessed with six blessings, and they are these; the spirit of wisdom and understanding, of counsel and of might, the spirit of knowledge, and of the fear of the Lord; (see Isaiah 11:2).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 39-56 - It is very good for those who have the work of grace begun in their souls, to communicate one to another. On Mary's arrival, Elisabeth wa conscious of the approach of her who was to be the mother of the grea Redeemer. At the same time she was filled with the Holy Ghost, an under his influence declared that Mary and her expected child were mos blessed and happy, as peculiarly honoured of and dear to the Most Hig God. Mary, animated by Elisabeth's address, and being also under the influence of the Holy Ghost, broke out into joy, admiration, an gratitude. She knew herself to be a sinner who needed a Saviour, an that she could no otherwise rejoice in God than as interested in his salvation through the promised Messiah. Those who see their need of Christ, and are desirous of righteousness and life in him, he fill with good things, with the best things; and they are abundantl satisfied with the blessings he gives. He will satisfy the desires of the poor in spirit who long for spiritual blessings, while the self-sufficient shall be sent empty away.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
42. She spake out with a loud voice (anefwnhse fwnh megalh). For fwnh, voice, read kraugh, cry: inarticulate, though fwnh may also be used of inarticulate utterance. Rev., rightly, She lifted up her voice with a loud cry; thus rendering in the verb the force of ajna, up, besides picturing the fact more naturally. Elizabeth's sudden and violent emotion at the appearance of Mary, and the movement of the child, prompted an exclamation which was followed by words (eipen, said). The verb ajnafwnew occurs only here in the New Testament. It was a medical term for a certain exercise of the voice.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
1:42 {With a loud cry} (kraugei megalei). A moment of ecstatic excitement. {Blessed art thou} (eulogemene). Perfect passive participle. A Hebraistic equivalent for the superlative.
