My soul magnifies the Holy One,
 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
for She has looked with favor on the lowliness of Her servant.
   Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed;
for the Mighty One has done great things for me,
   and holy is Her name.
Her mercy is for those who fear Her
   from generation to generation.
She has shown strength with Her arm;
   She has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
She has brought down the powerful from their thrones,
   and lifted up the lowly;
She has filled the hungry with good things,
   and sent the rich away empty.
