The Magnificat
1:46 And Mary[*i] said: ‘My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord
1:47 and my spirit exults in God my saviour;
1:48 because he has looked upon his lowly handmaid. Yes, from this day forward all generations will call me blessed,
1:49 for the Almighty has done great things for me. Holy is his name,
1:50 and his mercy reaches from age to age for those who fear him.
1:51 He has shown the power of his arm, he has routed the proud of heart.
1:52 He has pulled down princes from their thrones and exalted the lowly.
1:53 The hungry he has filled with good things, the rich sent empty away.
1:54 He has come to the help of Israel his servant, mindful of his mercy
1:55 -according to the promise he made to our ancestors-of his mercy to Abraham and to his descendants for ever.’
1:56 Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months and then went back home.
