46 And Mary said: My soul magnifies the Lord,

47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.

48 For He regards the lowly state of His handmaid; for behold, henceforth all generations will count me blessed.

49 For He who is mighty does great things to me, and holy is His name.

50 And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.

51 He performs mightily with His arm; He scatters the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.

52 He puts down the mighty from their thrones, and exalts the lowly.

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

54 He has helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy,

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