Lyrics of Magnificat: Quia Respexit - Tarja, Johann Sebastian Bach

Magnificat: Quia Respexit (original)

Magnificat anima mea Dominum,
et exsultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo.
Quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae.
Ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes.
Quia fecit mihi magna, qui potens est,
et sanctum nomen eius.
Et misericordia eius a progenie in progenies
timentibus eum.
Fecit potentiam in brachio suo,
dispersit superbos mente cordis sui.
Deposuit potentes de sede
et exaltavit humiles.
Esurientes implevit bonis
et divites dimisit inanes.
Suscepit Israel puerum suum,
recordatus misericordiae suae.
Sicut locutus est ad patres nostros,
Abraham et semini eius in saecula.
Gloria Patri et Filio
et Spiritui Sancto,
sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper
et in saecula saeculorum.
Amen.

(translation)

My soul magnifies the Lord,
and my spirit rejoiced in God my Saviour.
Because he has respected the humility of his handmaid.
For behold from this time all generations will declare me blessed.
Because he who is powerful has done great things for me
and his holy name.
And his mercy is from progeny to progeny
those who fear him.
He did power with his arm
he has scattered the proud in the mind of his heart.
He put down the powerful from his seat
He exalted the humble.
Hungry fills with good things
and he sent the emissaries away empty-handed.
Israel took his servant
remembering his mercy.
As I said to our fathers
Abraham and his descendants in the world.
Glory to the Father and the Son
and the Holy Spirit
as it was in the beginning, and now, and always
and in the ages of the ages.
Amen.
