^68 (C)“Blessed be the Lord ^(D)God of Israel,
    for he has ^(E)visited and ^(F)redeemed his people
⁶⁹ and ^(G)has raised up ^(H)a horn of salvation for us
    ^(I)in the house of his servant David,
^70 (J)as ^(K)he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old,
^71 (L)that we should be saved from our enemies
    and from the hand of all who hate us;
^72 (M)to show the mercy promised to our fathers
    and ^(N)to remember his holy ^(O)covenant,
^73 (P)the oath that he swore to our father Abraham, to grant us
⁷⁴     that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies,
might serve him ^(Q)without fear,
^{75     (R)}in holiness and righteousness before him ^(S)all our days.
⁷⁶ And you, child, will be called ^(T)the prophet of ^(U)the Most High;
    for ^(V)you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways,
⁷⁷ to give knowledge of salvation to his people
    ^(W)in the forgiveness of their sins,
⁷⁸ because of the ^(X)tender mercy of our God,
    whereby ^(Y)the sunrise shall ^(Z)visit us^{[a] (AA)}from on high
⁷⁹ to ^(AB)give light to ^(AC)those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
    to guide our feet into ^(AD)the way of ^(AE)peace.”
