Congratulamini mihi, omnes qui diligitis Dominum,
quia cum essem parvula, placui Altissimo:
et de meis visceribus genui Deum et hominem.
Beatam me dicent omnes generationes,
quia ancillam humilem respexit Deus.

Rejoice with me, all you who love the Lord,
for when I was very little, I pleased the Most High:
and from my womb I brought forth God and man.
All generations shall call me blessed,
because God has looked upon His humble handmaid.
