47     and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,(A)
48 for he has been mindful
    of the humble state of his servant.(B)
From now on all generations will call me blessed,(C)
49     for the Mighty One has done great things(D) for me—
    holy is his name.(E)
50 His mercy extends to those who fear him,
    from generation to generation.(F)
51 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;(G)
    he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.(H)
52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones
    but has lifted up the humble.(I)
53 He has filled the hungry with good things(J)
    but has sent the rich away empty.
54 He has helped his servant Israel,
    remembering to be merciful(K)
55 to Abraham and his descendants(L) forever,
    just as he promised our ancestors.”

47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.

50 And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.

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

52 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.

53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.

54 He hath helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;

55 As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.
