* Then Mary said , My soul magnifies the Lord , * and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour ; * because he has not disdained the low condition of his handmaid ; for henceforth , all posterity will pronounce me happy . * For the Almighty , whose name is venerable , has done wonders for me . * His mercy on them who fear him , extends to generations of generations . * He displays the strength of his arm , and dispels the vain imaginations of the proud . * He pulls down potentates from their thrones , and exalts the lowly . * The needy he loads with benefits ; but the rich he spoils of everything . * He supports Israel his servant , ever inclined to mercy , * (as he promised to our fathers ) toward Abraham and his race . * And Mary , after staying with Elizabeth about three months , returned home .
