^(A)“My ^(B)soul ^(C)magnifies the Lord,

^(A)“My heart exults in the Lord;
    ^(B)my horn is exalted in the Lord.
My mouth derides my enemies,
    because ^(C)I rejoice in your salvation.

^2 (D)“There is none holy like the Lord:
    for there is none besides you;
    there is ^(E)no rock like our God.
³ Talk no more so very proudly,
    let not arrogance come from your mouth;
for the Lord is a God of knowledge,
    and by him actions are weighed.
^4 (F)The bows of the mighty are broken,
    but the feeble bind on strength.
⁵ Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread,
    but those who were hungry have ceased to hunger.
^(G)The barren has borne seven,
    ^(H)but she who has many children is forlorn.
^6 (I)The Lord kills and brings to life;
    he brings down to Sheol and raises up.
^7 (J)The Lord makes poor and makes rich;
    ^(K)he brings low and he exalts.
^8 (L)He raises up the poor from the dust;
    he lifts the needy from the ash heap
^(M)to make them sit with princes
    and inherit a seat of honor.
^(N)For the pillars of the earth are the Lord's,
    and on them he has set the world.

^9 (O)“He will guard the feet of his faithful ones,
    but the wicked shall be cut off in darkness,
    for not by might shall a man prevail.
^10 (P)The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces;
    ^(Q)against them he will thunder in heaven.
^(R)The Lord will judge the ends of the earth;
    he will give strength to his king
    ^(S)and exalt the horn of his anointed.”

⁹ Then my soul will rejoice in the Lord,
    ^(A)exulting in his salvation.

^10 (A)I will greatly rejoice in the Lord;
    my soul shall exult in my God,
^(B)for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation;
    he has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom decks himself ^(C)like a priest with a beautiful headdress,
    ^(D)and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
