46 Then Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord,
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour;
48 because he has not disdained the low condition of his handmaid; for henceforth, all posterity will pronounce me happy.
49 For the Almighty, whose name is venerable, has done wonders for me.
50 His mercy on them who fear him, extends to generations of generations.
51 He displays the strength of his arm, and dispels the vain imaginations of the proud.
52 He pulls down potentates from their thrones, and exalts the lowly.
53 The needy he loads with benefits; but the rich he spoils of everything.
54 He supports Israel his servant, ever inclined to mercy,
55 (as he promised to our fathers) toward Abraham and his race.
