And Mary said - My soul doth magnify the Lord,

And my spirit hath exulted upon God my saviour;

Because he hath looked upon the humbling of his handmaid; for lo! from the present time, all the generations, will pronounce me happy.

Because he that is mighty hath done for me great things, and, holy, is his name;

And his mercy is unto generations and generations, to them who revere him;

He hath wrought strength with his arm, He hath scattered men arrogant in the intention of their heart;

He hath deposed potentates from thrones, and uplifted the lowly;

The hungry, hath he filled with good things, and, the wealthy, hath he sent empty away;

He hath laid hold of Israel his servant, to be mindful of mercies:

According as he spake unto our fathers, - To Abraham, and to his seed, - Unto times age-abiding.

And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned unto her house.
