My soul lifts up my Master, God;
my spirit leaps for Him, who saves;
and everyone will call me blessed,
since He has favoured me, His slave.
The Mighty One is holy, and
He notices not only me;
His mercy is for everyone
who takes His power seriously.
He’s shown His strength by scattering
the proud who think of self alone;
He’s lifted up the humble folk
and taken rulers down from thrones.
He gives good things to hungry folk,
ensuring that they’re satisfied;
in contrast He has sent the rich
away without a thing inside.
Remembering His promises
to Abraham and all his line,
He’s helped His servant Israel
by being merciful and kind.
