\nMy spirit rejoices in God my Saviour.
\nHe looks on his servant in her lowliness;
\nHenceforth all generations will call me blessed.<\/p>\n
\nHoly his name!
\nHis mercy is from age to age,
\non those who fear him.<\/p>\n
\nAnd scatters the proud hearted.
\nHe casts the mighty from their thrones
\nAnd raises the lowly.
\nHe fills the starving with good things,
\nSends the rich away empty.<\/p>\n
\nremembering his mercy,
\nthe mercy promised to our fathers,
\nto Abraham and his sons for ever.<\/p>\n
