Psalm 147.1-12
Magnificat
1
My soul doth magnify the Lord*
and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my
Saviour.
2
For he hath regarded:*
the lowliness of his handmaiden.
3
For behold from henceforth:*
All generations shall call me blessed.
4
For he that is mighty hath magnified me:*
and holy is his name.
5
And his mercy is on them that fear him:*
throughout all generations.
6
He hath showed strength with his arm:*
he hath scattered the proud in the
imagination of their hearts.
1
Praise the Lord, for it is a good thing to sing
praises unto our God*
yea, a joyful and pleasant thing it is to be
thankful.
2
The Lord doth build up Jerusalem*
and gather together the out-casts of Israel.
7
He hath put down the mighty from their seat:*
and hath exalted the humble and meek.
3
He healeth those that are broken in heart*
and giveth medicine to heal their sickness.
8
He hath filled the hungry with good things:*
and the rich he hath sent empty away.
4
He telleth the number of the stars*
and calleth them all by their names.
9
He remembering his mercy:*
hath holpen his servant Israel;
5
Great is our Lord, and great is his power*
yea, and his wisdom is infinite.
10
As he promised to our forefathers:*
Abraham and his seed for ever.
6
The Lord setteth up the meek*
and bringeth the ungodly down to the ground.
7
O sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving*
sing praises upon the harp unto our God;
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Ghost;*
as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be
world without end. Amen.
8
Who covereth the heaven with clouds, and
prepareth rain for the earth*
and maketh the grass to grow upon the
mountains, and herb for the use of men;
9
10
Nunc Dimittis
1
Who giveth fodder unto the cattle*
and feedeth the young ravens that call upon
him.
Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in
peace:*
according to thy word,
2
He hath no pleasure in the strength of an
horse*
neither delighteth he in any man’s legs.
For mine eyes have seen thy salvation:*
which thou hast prepared before the face of
all people;
3
To be a light to lighten the Gentiles:*
and to be the glory of thy people Israel.
11
But the Lord’s delight is in them that fear him*
and put their trust in his mercy.
12
Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem*
praise thy God, O Sion.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Ghost;*
as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be
world without end. Amen.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Ghost;*
as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be
world without end. Amen.
