Original Text
Magnificat anima mea Dominum
et exsultavit spiritus meus
in Deo salutari meo
quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae.
Ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent
omnes generationes.
Quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est,
et sanctum nomen ejus,
et misericordia ejus a progenie in progenies
timentibus ejum.
Fecit potentiam in brachio suo.
Dispersit superbos mente cordis sui.
Deposuit potentes de sede
et exaltavit humiles.
Esurientes implevit bonis
et divites dimisit inanes.
Suscepit Israel puerum suum
recordatus misericordiae suae
sicut locutus est ad patres nostros
Abraham et semini ejus in saecula.
Gloria patri, et filio, et spiritui sancto:
Sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper
et in saecula saeculorum.
Amen. |
English Translation
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
because he has looked upon
the humble condition of his servant.
For from now on all generations
will call me blessed.
For the Almighty has done great things for me,
and holy is his name,
and his compassion is from generation to generation
for those who fear him.
He has used the power of his arm.
He has routed the arrogant of heart.
He has pulled down the powerful from their thrones
and raised high the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things
and sent the rich away empty.
He has come to the help of Israel his servant,
mindful of his compassion,
according to the promise he made to our ancestors,
Abraham and his descendants, for ever.
Glory to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now and always
and for ages of ages.
Amen.
