Originating from the Latin word for "magnify" (although originating in the Greek New Testament), the Magnificat is the name given to the words of Mary in Luke's Gospel, beginning "My soul doth magnify the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior." According to the gospel, Mary, while pregnant with Jesus, visited her cousin Elisabeth, who was at the time pregnant with John the Baptist. In response to Elisabeth's salutation Ave Maria, she spoke the words of the Magnificat.
The Magnificat is the canticle appointed to be sung at Vespers in the Roman Rite; it is the first canticle used at Evening Prayer (called "Evensong" when sung) in Anglican tradition, the second canticle being the Nunc dimittis. The latter canticle is appointed as the proper canticle of Compline in the Roman rite. Composers writing for the Anglican tradition typically treated the Magnficat and Nunc dimittis as a related pair; those writing for use in the Roman Rite typically treated the two independently.
For more detailed discussion, the reader is invited to refer to these wikipedia pages:

Differences in the Ambrosian TextMilanese composers (e.g. Cima) set the the text according to the Ambrosian Rite, which has the following differences: Line 5: Et misericordia eius a sæculo et in sæculorum super timentibus eum. The meaning is not significantly different from that of the Roman version. |

King James Version, 1611 |
Metrical English version from A New Version of the Psalms of David by Brady and Tate
My soul and spirit, filled with joy,
My God and Saviour praise,
Whose goodness did from poor estate
His humble handmaid raise.
Me bless'd of God, the God of pow'r,
All ages shall confess;
Whose Name is holy, and whose love,
His saints shall ever bless
The proud, and all their vain designs,
He quickly did confound ;
He cast the mighty from their seat,
The meek and humble crown'd.
The hungry with good things were filled,
The rich with hunger pined:
He sent his servant Israel help,
And called his love to mind;
Which to our fathers heretofore
By oath he did ensure,
To Abra'm and his chosen seed
Forever to endure.

French translation
Mon âme exalte le Seigneur.
Exulte mon esprit en Dieu mon sauveur !
Il s’est penché sur son humble servante,
Désormais, tous les âges me diront bienheureuse.
Le puissant fit pour moi des merveilles ;
saint est son nom !
Son amour s’étend d'âge en âge
sur ceux qui le craignent.
Déployant la force de son bras,
il disperse les superbes.
Il renverse les puissants de leur trône,
il élève les humbles.
Il comble de biens les affamés,
renvoie les riches les mains vides.
Il relève Israël son serviteur,
il se souvient de son amour,
de la promesse faite à nos pères,
en faveur d’Abraham et de sa race, à jamais.
Gloire au Père, au Fils
et au Saint-Esprit.
Comme au commencement,
maintenant et toujours,
et pour les siècles des siècles. Amen.
