^(A)“My ^(B)soul ^(C)magnifies the Lord,
^{47     (D)}and my ^(E)spirit rejoices in ^(F)God my Savior,
⁴⁸ for ^(G)he has looked on the humble estate of his servant.
    For behold, from now on all generations ^(H)will call me blessed;
⁴⁹ for ^(I)he who is mighty ^(J)has done great things for me,
    and ^(K)holy is his name.
⁵⁰ And ^(L)his mercy is for those who fear him
    from generation to generation.
^51 (M)He has shown strength with his arm;
    ^(N)he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts;
^52 (O)he has brought down the mighty from their thrones
    ^(P)and exalted those of humble estate;
⁵³ he has filled ^(Q)the hungry with good things,
    and the rich ^(R)he has sent away empty.
⁵⁴ He has ^(S)helped ^(T)his servant Israel,
    ^(U)in remembrance of his mercy,
^55 (V)as he spoke to our fathers,
    ^(W)to Abraham and to his offspring forever.”

^(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.”
