44 For, lo! as the voice of thy salutation reached my ears, the babe leaped for joy in my womb.
45 And blessed is she that hath believed; for there shall be a fulfilment of the things told her from the Lord.
46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
47 and my spirit hath exulted in God my Saviour:
48 for he hath looked upon the lowly state of his maid-servant: for, lo! henceforth shall all generations pronounce me blessed.
49 For the Mighty One hath done great things for me; and holy is his name.

52 He hath cast down potentates from the throne, and hath exalted the lowly.
53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
54 He hath succoured Israel his servant, that he might be mindful of mercy for ever;
