[
46] And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord,
[
47] and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
[
48] for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden.
For behold, henceforth all generations will 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,
he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts,
[
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 has 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 for ever."
