“My soul magnifies the Lord,
⁴⁷     and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.
⁴⁸ For He has regarded
    the low estate of His servant;
surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed.
⁴⁹ For He who is mighty has done great things for me,
    and holy is His name.
⁵⁰ His mercy is on those who fear Him
    from generation to generation.
⁵¹ He has shown strength with His arm;
    He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
⁵² He has pulled down the mighty from their thrones
    and exalted those of low degree.
⁵³ He has filled the hungry with good things,
    and the rich He has sent away empty.
⁵⁴ He has helped His servant Israel,
    in remembrance of His mercy,
⁵⁵ as He spoke to our fathers,
    to Abraham and to his descendants forever.”^[a]
