68 “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, because He has visited and has performed redemption on His people,
69 and has raised up a horn of salvation for us, in the house of His servant David;
70 as He spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets of old,
71 salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all those hating us,
72 to fulfill mercy toward our fathers, and to remember His holy covenant,
73 the oath that He swore to Abraham our father, to grant us,
74 having been saved from the hand of our enemies, to serve Him without fear,
75 in holiness and righteousness before Him, all the days of our life.
76 And you, child, will be called prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare His ways,
77 to give knowledge of salvation to His people, in forgiveness of their sins,
78 through the affections of compassion of our God, in which the Sunrise will visit us from on high,
79 to shine upon those sitting in darkness and in the shadow of death, to direct our feet into the way of peace.”
