Et exultávit spíritus méus in Déo salutári méo.

Quia respéxit humilitátem ancíllæ súæ,
for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.
ecce enim ex hoc beátam me dícent ómnes generatiónes.
From this day all generations will call me blessed:
Quia fécit míhi mágna qui pótens est :
the Almighty has done great things for me,
et sánctum nómen éjus
and holy is his Name.
Et misericórdia éjus a progénie in progénies
He has mercy on those who fear him
timéntibus éum.
in every generation.
Fécit poténtiam in bráchio súo :
He has shown might in his arm,
dispérsit supérbos ménte córdis súi.

Depósuit poténtes de séde,

Suscépit Israël púerum súum,
He has come to the help of Israel his servant
recordátus misericórdiæ súæ.
for he has remembered his promise of mercy,
Sicut locútus est ad pátres nóstros,

Abraham et sémini éjus in saécula.
