001:046 Then Mary said: "My soul extols the Lord,
001:047 And my spirit triumphs in God my Saviour;
001:048 Because He has not turned from His maidservant in her lowly position;
For from this time forward all generations will account me happy,
001:049 Because the mighty One has done great things for me—
Holy is His name!—
001:050 And His compassion is, generation after generation, Upon those
who fear Him.
001:051 He has manifested His supreme strength. He has scattered
those who were haughty in the thoughts of their hearts.
001:052 He has cast monarchs down from their thrones, And exalted men
of low estate.
001:053 The hungry He has satisfied with choice gifts, But the rich
He has sent empty-handed away.
001:054 His servant Israel He has helped, Remembering His compassion—
001:055 In fulfillment of His promises to our forefathers—For Abraham
and his posterity for ever."
