The Song of Mary


My soul magnifies the Lord,

And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.

For He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant;  For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed.

For He who is mighty has done great things for me,  And holy [is] His name.

And His mercy [is] on those who fear Him  From generation to generation.

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] thrones,  And exalted [the] lowly.

He has filled [the] hungry with good things,  And [the] rich He has sent away empty.

He has helped His servant Israel,  In remembrance of [His] mercy,

As He spoke to our fathers,  To Abraham and to his seed forever.
