My soul doth magnify the Lord and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded lowliness of his handmaiden. For behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath magnified me, and holy is his name and his mercy is on them, that fear him through all generations. He hath shewed strength with his arm, he hath scatter'd the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down mighty from their seat and hath exalted the humble and the meek. He hath filled the hungry with good things and the rich he hath sent empty away. He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel, as he promised to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed forever.
