1
My soul proclaims with wonder the greatness of the
Lord;
rejoicing in God’s goodness, my spirit is restored.
To me has God shown favor, to one the world
thought frail,
and every age will echo the angel’s first “All hail.”

2
God’s mercy shields the faithful and saves them
from defeat
with strength that turns to scatter the proud in their
conceit.
The mighty have been vanquished, the lowly lifted up.
The hungry find abundance; the rich, an empty cup.

3
To Abraham’s descendants the Lord will steadfast
prove,
for God has made with Israel a covenant of love.
My soul proclaims with wonder the greatness of the
Lord;
rejoicing in God’s goodness, my spirit is restored.
