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

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