Luke 1:68-79

Christian Standard Bible

⁶⁸ Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel,^(A)
because he has visited
and provided redemption for his people.^(B)
69 He has raised up a horn of salvation for us^(C)
in the house of his servant David,^(D)
70 just as he spoke by the mouth
of his holy prophets in ancient times;^(E)
71 salvation from our enemies
and from the hand of those who hate us.
⁷² He has dealt mercifully with our ancestors^(F)
and remembered his holy covenant^(G)—
⁷³ the oath that he swore to our father Abraham,^(H)
to grant that we,
⁷⁴ having been rescued
from the hand of our enemies,
would serve him without fear
⁷⁵ in holiness and righteousness
in his presence all our days.
⁷⁶ And you, child, will be called
a prophet of the Most High,^(I)
for you will go before the Lord
to prepare his ways,^(J)
77 to give his people knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins.^(K)
78 Because of our God’s merciful compassion,
the dawn from on high^(L) will visit us
⁷⁹ to shine on those who live in darkness
and the shadow of death,^(M)
to guide our feet into the way of peace.
