Magníficat

My soul magnifies the Lord,
and my spirit rejoices in God, my Savior,
for he has looked with favor on the lowliness of his servant;
behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed.

The Mighty One has done great things for me,
and holy is his name!
His mercy is for those who fear him
from generation to generation.

He has shown strength with his arm;
he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
He has brought down the powerful from their thrones
and lifted up the lowly.

He has filled the hungry with good things
and sent the rich away empty.
He has helped his servant Israel,
in remembrance of his mercy,

As he spoke to our ancestors,
to Abraham and to his descendants forever.
Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
