Magnificat
Magnificat anima mea Dominum | My soul exalts the Lord |
Et exultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo | and my spirit rejoices in God my saviour. |
Quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae:Ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes |
For he has been mindful of the humble state of his handmaiden: from now on all generations shall call me blessed. |
Quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est: Et sanctum nomen eius | For the mighty one has done great things for me, and his name is Holy. |
Et misericordia eius a progenie in progenies: timentibus eum | He is merciful to those who fear him, through all generations |
Fecit potentiam in brachio suo: Dispersit superbos mente cordis sui. | He has shown his might with his arm; he has scattered those who harboured pride in their hearts. |
Deposuit potentes de sede: Et exaltavit humilies | He has brought rulers down from their thrones, and he has raised up the humble. |
Esurientes implevit bonis: et divites dimisit inanes | He has filled the hungry with good things, and he has sent the rich away empty. |
Suscepit Israel puerum suum: recordatus misericordiae suae | He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful |
Sicut locutus est ad patres nostros: Abraham et semini eius in saecula. | Even as he said to our fathers, to Abraham and his descendants forever. |
