L: For He who is mighty has done great things for me, and Holy is His name

And his mercy is on those who fear him from generation to generation.

L: He has shown strength with His arm, He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

C: He has put down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted those of low degree.

L: He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent empty away.

C: He has helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy, as He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his posterity for ever.
