“My soul ^[a]exalts the Lord,
⁴⁷ And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.
⁴⁸ “For He has had regard for the humble state of His ^[b]bondslave;
For behold, from this time on all generations will count meblessed.
⁴⁹ “For the Mighty One has done great things for me;
And holy is His name.
⁵⁰ “And His mercy is ^[c]upon generation after generation
Toward those who fear Him.
⁵¹ “He has done ^[d]mighty deeds with His arm;
He has scattered those who were proud in the ^[e]thoughts of their heart.
⁵² “He has brought down rulers from their thrones,
And has exalted those who were humble.
⁵³ “He has filled the hungry with good things;
And sent away the rich empty-handed.
⁵⁴ “He has given help to Israel His servant,
^[f]In remembrance of His mercy,
⁵⁵ As He spoke to our fathers,
To Abraham and his ^[g]descendants forever.”
