THE MAGNIFICAT
My soul glorifies the Lord ,* = my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour. = He looks on his servant in her lowliness;* = henceforth all ages will call me blessed.
The Almighty works marvels for me.* = Holy his name! = His mercy is from age to age,* = on those who fear him.
He puts forth his arm in strength* = and scatters the proud-hearted. = He casts the mighty from their thrones* = and raises the lowly.
He fills the starving with good things, = sends the rich away empty.
He protects Israel, his servant,* = remembering his mercy, = the mercy promised to our fathers,* = to Abraham and his sons for ever.
