46 And said Mary: Magnifies the soul of me the Lord,

47 and has exulted the spirit of me in the God the savior of me;

48 for he looked upon the low state of the handmaid of himself. Lo for, from the now will call happy me all the generations;

49 for has done to me great things the mighty one; and holy the name of him,

50 and the mercy of him to generations of generations to those fearing him.

51 He has showed strength with arm of himself; he has dispersed arrogant ones in thought of hearts of them.

52 He has cast down mighty ones from thrones, and lifted up humble ones.

53 Hungering one he filled of good things, and being rich be sent away empty.

54 He aided Israel a child of himself, to remember mercy.

55 (as he spoke to the fathers of us), to the Abraham and to the seed of him even to an age.

46 Mary said: »My life magnifies Jehovah my God. (1 Samuel 2:1)

47 »My heart and mind rejoice in God my Savior.

48 »He has looked on the low position of his servant. All generations from now on will call me blessed.

49 »He that is mighty has done great things to me. Holy is his name.

50 »His mercy is to all generations for all who respect him.

51 »He shows strength with his arm. He scatters the proud in the thoughts of their heart.

52 »He removes rulers from their thrones and exalts the humble.

53 »He fills the hungry with good things and sends the rich away empty handed.

54 »He has helped Israel his servant that he might remember mercy.

55 »He spoke to our fathers. To Abraham and his seed forever.«
