1	46. Und Maria sprach: Meine Seele erhebet den HErrn,							[46] And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
2	47. und mein Geist freuet sich GOttes, meines Heilandes.							[47] And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
3	48. Denn er hat die Niedrigkeit seiner Magd angesehen. Siehe, von nun an werden mich selig preisen alle Kindeskinder.							[48] For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
4	49. Denn er hat große Dinge an mir getan, der da mächtig ist, und des Name heilig ist.							[49] For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.
5	50. Und seine Barmherzigkeit währet immer für und für bei denen, die ihn fürchten.							[50] And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
6	51. Er übet Gewalt mit seinem Arm und zerstreuet, die hoffärtig sind in ihres Herzens Sinn.							[51] He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
7	52. Er stößet die Gewaltigen vom Stuhl und erhebt die Niedrigen.							[52] He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.
8	53. Die Hungrigen füllet er mit Gütern und läßt die Reichen leer.							[53] He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
9	54. Er denket der Barmherzigkeit und hilft seinem Diener Israel auf,							[54] He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;
10	55. wie er geredet hat unsern Vätern, Abraham und seinem Samen ewiglich.							[55] As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.
