46 Disse então Maria: A minha alma engrandece ao Senhor,
47 e o meu espírito exulta em Deus meu Salvador;
48 porque atentou na condição humilde de sua serva. Desde agora, pois, todas as gerações me chamarão bem-aventurada,
49 porque o Poderoso me fez grandes coisas; e santo é o seu nome.
50 E a sua misericórdia vai de geração em geração sobre os que o temem.
51 Com o seu braço manifestou poder; dissipou os que eram soberbos nos pensamentos de seus corações;
52 depôs dos tronos os poderosos, e elevou os humildes.
53 Aos famintos encheu de bens, e vazios despediu os ricos.
54 Auxiliou a Isabel, seu servo, lembrando-se de misericórdia
55 {como falou a nossos pais} para com Abraão e a sua descendência para sempre.
46 And Mary said: My soul gives glory to God;
47 My spirit is glad in God my Saviour.
48 For he has had pity on his servant, though she is poor and lowly placed: and from this hour will all generations give witness to the blessing which has come to me.
49 For he who is strong has done great things for me; and holy is his name.
50 His mercy is for all generations in whom is the fear of him.
51 With his arm he has done acts of power; he has put to flight those who have pride in their hearts.
52 He has put down kings from their seats, lifting up on high the men of low degree.
53 Those who had no food he made full of good things; the men of wealth he sent away with nothing in their hands;
54 His help he has given to Israel, his servant, so that he might keep in mind his mercy to Abraham and his seed for ever,
55 As he gave his word to our fathers.
