46 And Mary said:‘My soul glorifies the Lord
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour,
48 for he has been mindfulof the humble state of his servant.From now on all generations will call me blessed,
49 for the Mighty One has done great things for me –holy is his name.
50 His mercy extends to those who fear him,from generation to generation.
51 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.
52 He has brought down rulers from their thronesbut has lifted up the humble.
