46 Then Mary said: "My soul magnifies the Lord,
47 And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior;
48 Because he has looked upon the low estate of his handmaid. Indeed, from this time all generations will call me blessed.
49 Because the Mighty One has done great things for me. Holy is his name.
50 His kindness is from generation to generation upon those who fear him.
51 He shows strength with his arm; He scatters the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
52 He casts down princes from their thrones and raises up the lowly.
53 The hungry he fills with good things and the affluent he sends away empty.
54 He brings help to Israel his servant, mindful of kindness,
55 just as he promised our fathers, Abraham and his descendants, forever."
