Beatam me dicent

omnes generationes, quia ancillam humilem respexit Deus. Alleluia.
1. Magnificat anima mea Dominum.
2. Et exsultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo.
3. Quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae:
ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes.
4. Quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est: et sanctum nomen ejus.
5. Et misericordia ejus a progenie in progenies timentibus eum.
6. Fecit potentiam in brachio suo:
dispersit superbos mente cordis sui.
7. Deposuit potentes de sede, et exaltavit humiles.
8. Esurientes implevit bonis: et divites dimisit inanes.
9. Suscepit, Israel puerum suum, recordatus misericordiae suae.
10. Sicut locutus est ad patres nostros, Abraham,
et semini ejus in saecula.
11. Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto.
12. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc,
et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
Beatam me dicent omnes generationes, quia ancillam humilem respexit Deus.
Alleluia.
