^{46 Ref} And Mary said, `My soul doth magnify the Lord,

^{47 Ref} And my spirit was glad on God my Saviour,

^{48 Ref} Because He looked on the lowliness of His maid-servant, For, lo, henceforth call me happy shall all the generations,

^{49 Ref} For He who is mighty did to me great things, And holy `is' His name,

^{50 Ref} And His kindness `is' to generations of generations, To those fearing Him,

^{51 Ref} He did powerfully with His arm, He scattered abroad the proud in the thought of their heart,

^{52 Ref} He brought down the mighty from thrones, And He exalted the lowly,

^{53 Ref} The hungry He did fill with good, And the rich He sent away empty,

^{54 Ref} He received again Israel His servant, To remember kindness,

^{55 Ref} As He spake unto our fathers, To Abraham and to his seed -- to the age.'

^{46 Ref} And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,

^{47 Ref} And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

^{48 Ref} For he hath looked upon the low estate of his handmaid: For behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

^{49 Ref} For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; And holy is his name.

^{50 Ref} And his mercy is unto generations and generations On them that fear him.

^{51 Ref} He hath showed strength with his arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their heart.

^{52 Ref} He hath put down princes from `their' thrones, And hath exalted them of low degree.

^{53 Ref} The hungry he hath filled with good things; And the rich he hath sent empty away.

^{54 Ref} He hath given help to Israel his servant, That he might remember mercy

^{55 Ref} (As he spake unto our fathers) Toward Abraham and his seed for ever.

⁵⁶ And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned unto her house.
