Representative Text

1 My soul doth magnify the Lord,
and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

2 For He hath regarded:
the lowliness of His hand-maiden.

3 For behold, from henceforth
all generations shall call me blessed.

4 For He that is mighty hath magnified me,
And holy is His Name.

5 And His mercy is on them that fear Him
throughout all generations.

6 He hath showed strength with His arm:
He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

7 He hath put down the mighty from their sea:
and hath exalted the humble and meek.

8 He hath filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich He hath sent empty away.

9 He, remembering His mercy hath holpen His servant Israel:
as He promised to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed, for ever.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son:
and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen.
