^m“My soul magnifies the Lord,

47  and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,

48  for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant.

For behold, from now on all generations will call me ⁿblessed;

49  for he who is mighty has ^odone great things for me,

and ^pholy is his name.

50  And his ^qmercy is for those who fear him

from generation to generation.

51  He has shown strength with his arm;

he has ^rscattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts;

52  he has brought down the mighty from their thrones

and exalted those of humble estate;

53  he has ^sfilled the hungry with good things,

and the rich he has sent away empty.

54  He has ^thelped his servant Israel,

in remembrance of his mercy,

55  as he spoke to our fathers,

^uto Abraham and to his offspring forever.”

^h“My heart exults in the Lord;

ⁱmy horn is exalted in the Lord.

My mouth derides my enemies,

because I rejoice in your salvation.

2  “There is ^jnone ^kholy like the Lord:

for there is ^lnone besides you;

there is ^mno 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  The bows of the mighty are broken,

but the feeble bind on strength.

5  Those who were ⁿfull have hired themselves out for bread,

but those who were hungry have ceased to hunger.

The barren has borne seven,

but she who has many children is forlorn.

6  ^oThe Lord kills and brings to life;

he brings down to Sheol and ^praises up.

7  The Lord makes poor and makes rich;

^qhe brings low and he exalts.

8  ^rHe raises up the poor from the dust;

he lifts the needy from the ash heap

to make them sit with princes

and inherit a seat of honor.

For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s,

and on them he has set the world.

9  “He will guard the feet of his faithful ones,

but the wicked shall be cut off in darkness,

for ^snot by might shall a man prevail.

10  The adversaries of the Lord shall be ^tbroken to pieces;

against them he will ^uthunder in heaven.

The Lord will ^vjudge the ends of the earth;

he will give strength to his king

and exalt the horn of his anointed.”
