Magnificat (St Luke 1) |
| | |
| Magnificat anima mea Dominum, et exultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo. | My soul doth magnify the Lord: and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. |
| quia respexit humilitatem ancillæ suæ; | For he hath regarded: the lowliness of his hand-maiden. |
| ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes, | For behold, from henceforth: all generations shall call me blessed. |
| quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est et sanctum nomen ejus; | For he that is mighty hath magnified me: and holy is his Name. |
| et misericordia ejus a progenie in progenies timentibus eum. | And his mercy is on them that fear him: throughout all generations. |
| Fecit potentiam in brachio suo; dispersit superbos mente cordis sui. | He hath shewed strength with his arm: he bath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. |
| Deposuit porentes de sede et exaltavit humiles. | He hath put down the mighty from their seat: and hath exalted the humble and meek. |
| Esurientes implevit bonis, et divites dimisit inanes. | He hath filled the hungry with good things: and the rich he hath sent empty away. |
| Suscepit Israel puerum suum, recordatus misericordiæ suæ, sicut locutus est ad patres nostros, Abraham, et semini ejus in sæcula. | He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel: as he promised to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed, for ever. |
| Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto. | Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost; |
| Sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper er in sæcula sæculorum. Amen. | As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen. |
