46 My soul magnifies the Lord, 47 And my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour. 48 For He has regarded the low estate of His handmaiden, For behold, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. 49 For He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name. 50 And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.
51 He has shown strength with His arm: 52 He has put down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted those of low degree. 53 He has filled the hungry with good things; and the rich He sent empty away. 54 He has helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy; 55 As He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his posterity forever.
