This concludes Mary's praise to God.

## He has helped ##

AT: "The Lord has helped"

## his servant Israel ##

If readers confuse this with the the man named Israel, it could be translated as AT: "his servant, the nation of Israel" or AT: "Israel, his servants"

## his descendants ##

"Abraham's descendants"

## just as he promised to our ancestors he would do ##

AT: "because he promised our ancestors he would be merciful"
