English Translation

My soul magnifies the Lord.

And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.

For he had regarded the lowliness of his handmaiden;
for behold, from henceforth shall call me blessed

All generations.

For he that is mighty has done great things for me,
and holy is his name.

And (his) mercy is on them that fear him
throughout all generations.

He has shown strength with his arm;
he has scattered the proud
in the imagination of their hearts.

He has put down the mighty from their seat,
and has exalted the humble and meek.

He has filled the hungry with good things
and the rich he has sent away empty.

Remembering his mercy,
he has helped his servant Israel.

As he promised to our forefathers,
Abraham and his seed forever.

Glory be to the Father, glory be to the Son,
and glory be to the Holy Ghost!
As it was in the beginning, is now,
and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
