“My soul glorifies the Lord^(F)
47     and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,^(G)
48 for he has been mindful
    of the humble state of his servant.^(H)
From now on all generations will call me blessed,^(I)
49     for the Mighty One has done great things^(J) for me—
    holy is his name.^(K)
50 His mercy extends to those who fear him,
    from generation to generation.^(L)
51 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;^(M)
    he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.^(N)
52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones
    but has lifted up the humble.^(O)
53 He has filled the hungry with good things^(P)
    but has sent the rich away empty.
⁵⁴ He has helped his servant Israel,
    remembering to be merciful^(Q)
55 to Abraham and his descendants^(R) forever,
    just as he promised our ancestors.”

⁵ Commit your way to the Lord;
    trust in him^(A) and he will do this:
⁶ He will make your righteous reward^(B) shine like the dawn,^(C)
    your vindication like the noonday sun.

⁷ Be still^(D) before the Lord
    and wait patiently^(E) for him;
do not fret^(F) when people succeed in their ways,^(G)
    when they carry out their wicked schemes.^(H)

⁸ Refrain from anger^(I) and turn from wrath;
    do not fret^(J)—it leads only to evil.
⁹ For those who are evil will be destroyed,^(K)
    but those who hope^(L) in the Lord will inherit the land.^(M)

¹⁰ A little while, and the wicked will be no more;^(N)
    though you look for them, they will not be found.
¹¹ But the meek will inherit the land^(O)
    and enjoy peace and prosperity.^(P)
