47 And (A)my spirit has rejoiced in (B)God my Savior.
48 “For (C)He has had regard for the humble state of His [a]bondslave;
For behold, from this time on all generations will count me (D)blessed.
49 “For the Mighty One has done great things for me;
And holy is His name.
50 (E)And His mercy is [b]upon generation after generation
Toward those who fear Him.
51 (F)He has done [c]mighty deeds with His arm;
He has scattered those who were proud in the [d]thoughts of their heart.
52 “He has brought down rulers from their thrones,
And has (G)exalted those who were humble.
53 (H)He has filled the hungry with good things;
And sent away the rich empty-handed.
54 “He has given help to Israel His servant,
[e]In remembrance of His mercy,
55 (I)As He spoke to our fathers,
(J)To Abraham and his [f]descendants forever.”
