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

⁶⁸ “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel,^(C)
    because he has come to his people and redeemed them.^(D)
69 He has raised up a horn^[a](E) of salvation for us
    in the house of his servant David^(F)
70 (as he said through his holy prophets of long ago),^(G)
71 salvation from our enemies
    and from the hand of all who hate us—
⁷² to show mercy to our ancestors^(H)
    and to remember his holy covenant,^(I)
73     the oath he swore to our father Abraham:^(J)
74 to rescue us from the hand of our enemies,
    and to enable us to serve him^(K) without fear^(L)
75     in holiness and righteousness^(M) before him all our days.

⁷⁶ And you, my child, will be called a prophet^(N) of the Most High;^(O)
    for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,^(P)
77 to give his people the knowledge of salvation
    through the forgiveness of their sins,^(Q)
78 because of the tender mercy of our God,
    by which the rising sun^(R) will come to us from heaven
⁷⁹ to shine on those living in darkness
    and in the shadow of death,^(S)
to guide our feet into the path of peace.”^(T)

¹⁴ “Glory to God in the highest heaven,
    and on earth peace^(A) to those on whom his favor rests.”

²⁹ “Sovereign Lord, as you have promised,^(A)
    you may now dismiss^[a] your servant in peace.^(B)
30 For my eyes have seen your salvation,^(C)
31     which you have prepared in the sight of all nations:
³² a light for revelation to the Gentiles,
    and the glory of your people Israel.”^(D)
