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.

Minun sieluni ylistää Herran suuruutta ja minun henkeni on löytänyt ilon Vapahtajassani. Sillä hän on katsonut palvelijattarensa alhaisuuteen. Sillä katso, vast'edes kaikki sukupolvet tulevat kutsumaan minua autuaaksi. Sillä hän, joka on voimallinen, on korottanut minut. ja hänen nimensä on pyhä ja hänen armonsa suuri niitä kohtaan, jotka pelkäävät häntä sukupolvien vaihtuessa. Hän on osoittanut voimansa käsiverrellaan, hän on lyönyt hajalle sydämensä sisintä myöten ylpeät. Hän on suistanut vallanpitäjät istuimiltaan ja korottanut nöyrät ja sävyisät. Hän on täyttänyt nälkäisten tarpeet hyvillä lahjoilla mutta lähettänyt rikkaat tyhjin käsin pois luotaan. Armonsa muistaen hän on auttanut palvelijaansa Israelia, niinkuin aikoinaan lupasi esi-isillemme, Aabrahamille ja hänen siemenelleen iankaikkisesti.
