Luke 1:67-79

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁶⁸ Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel,
because he has visited us and prepared redemption for his people.
⁶⁹ He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David,
⁷⁰ just as he said long ago through the mouth of his holy prophets.
⁷¹ He raised up salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us,
⁷² in order to show mercy to our fathers by remembering his holy covenant,
⁷³ the oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
⁷⁴ to grant deliverance to us from the hand of our enemies,
so that we are able to serve him without fear,
⁷⁵ in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
⁷⁶ And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High,
because you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways,
⁷⁷ to give his people the knowledge of salvation by the forgiveness of their sins,
⁷⁸ because of God’s tender mercies,
by which the Rising Sun from on high will visit us,
⁷⁹ to shine on those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the way of peace.
