O Radix Iesse

Magnificat (Luke 1:46-55) Antiphon for December 19 Vespers.

Ant. O Root of Jesse,
that stands for an ensign of the people,
before whom the kings keep silence
and unto whom the Gentiles shall make supplication:
Come, to deliver us, and tarry not.


Magnificat * anima mea Dominum.
et exultavit 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.

From the Liber Usualis. (mp3)

Luke 1:46-55
View in: NAB Vulg Greek
46And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord.
47And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
48Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
49Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; and holy is his name.
50And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him.
51He hath shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.
52He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble.
53He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
54He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of his mercy:
55As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed for ever.
