ΠΠΟΣΕΥΧΗ ΜΑΡΙΑΣ ΤΗΣ ΘΕΟΤΟΚΟΥ.
 PRAYER OF MARY THE GOD-BEARER. 
46Μεγαλύνει ἡ ψυχή μου τὸν κύριον,
 My soul magnifies the Lord,Mary's Song of Praise. Canticles.11.46-55 |  
47καὶ ἠγαλλίασεν τὸ πνεῦμά μου ἐπὶ τῷ θεῷ τῷ σωτῆρί μου,
 and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour, 
48ὅτι ἐπέβλεψεν ἐπὶ τὴν ταπείνωσιν τῆς δούλης αὐτοῦ·
ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν μακαριοῦσίν με πᾶσαι αἱ γενεαί,
 for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden.
For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed;		 
49ὅτι ἐποίησέν μοι μεγαλεῖα ὁ δυνατός·
καὶ ἅγιον τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ.
 for he who is mighty has done great things for me,
and holy is his name.		 
50καὶ τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ εἰς γενεὰν
καὶ γενεὰν τοῖς φοβουμένοις αὐτόν.
 And his mercy is on those who fear him
from generation to generation.		 
51ἐποίησεν κράτος ἐν βραχίονι αὐτοῦ, διεσκόρπισεν ὑπερηφάνους διανοίᾳ καρδίας αὐτῶν·
 He has shown strength with his arm,
he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts,		 
52καθεῖλεν δυνάστας ἀπὸ θρόνων,
καὶ ὕψωσεν ταπεινούς·
 he has put down the mighty from their thrones,
and exalted those of low degree;		 
53πεινῶντας ἐνέπλησεν ἀγαθῶν,
καὶ πλουτοῦντας ἐξαπέστειλεν κενούς.
 he has filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich he has sent empty away.		 
54ἀντελάβετο Ισραηλ παιδὸς αὐτοῦ,
μνησθῆναι ἐλέους,
 He has helped his servant Israel,
in remembrance of his mercy,		 
55καθὼς ἐλάλησεν πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν,
τῷ Αβρααμ καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ ἕως αἰῶνος.
 as he spoke to our fathers,
to Abraham and to his posterity for ever.

Notes:

The Old Testament in Greek is Rahlf's LXX available in Word format at the Tyndale website, adapted to database format.
The alternative readings of the LXX - Judges (Alexandrinus), Daniel, Susanna & Bel (LXX received text), and Tobit (Sinaiticus [not printed in Swete]) as separate book references so that they can be viewed as an alternative text in parallel with the primary text.
(I have reversed the Swete presentation for Daniel, Susanna, Bel by listing in the later Theodotion LXX text as the main text. )
The LXX cross references to the Hebrew Bible have been extensively revised using those set out in Swete's 'Old Testament in Greek' publications between 1894 and 1909, amended in part to agree with verses as printed in the Biblia Hebraica (1937 publication).
Some verse cross references in Swete's had to be amended to agree with the BHS verse numbering, and there may well be some mismatches that I haven't yet picked up on. (If you find any errors please e-mail me.)
Hebrew Bible has been adapted from the BHS in Word format at Tyndale.
The Septuagint in English ( translated by Sir Lancelot CL Brenton) - is used here only for the books of the Hebrew Bible.
The Revised Standard Version: This generally follows the Hebrew Bible for the canonical OT so I have included the RSV Aprocrypha for the Greek books not covered by Brenton.
Ecclesiasticus - Sirach Chs.30-36: The text of these chapters from 30.24 to 36.16, is disordered.
I have followed Swete's verse numbering for the greek text.
Also, the RSV verse numbering differs from the NRSV.
The NRSV appears to have followed Swete's numbering here, so I have re-ordered the RSV to agree with both the NRSV & Swete for these chapters.

Passage headings are generally as printed in the Bible Society's "Good News Bible", 1976.
