46 Then Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord,

47 and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Saving Health,

48 for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden; for, behold, from now on all generations shall call me blessed.

49 For he that is mighty has done great things unto me, and holy [is] his name.

50 And his mercy [is] on those that fear him from generation to generation.

51 He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

52 He has put down the mighty from [their] thrones and exalted the humble.

53 He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent empty away.

54 He has received his servant Israel in remembrance of [his] mercy

55 as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed forever.
