Luke 1:68

66 And all those who heard them ^akept them in their hearts, saying, “What kind of child will this be?” And ^bthe hand of the Lord was with him.

67 Now his father Zacharias ^awas filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying:

68 “Blessed^a is the Lord God of Israel,
For ^bHe has visited and redeemed His people,

69 ^aAnd has raised up a horn of salvation for us
In the house of His servant David,

70 ^aAs He spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets,
Who have been ^bsince the world began,

71 That we should be saved from our enemies
And from the hand of all who hate us,

72 ^aTo perform the mercy promised to our fathers
And to remember His holy covenant,

73 ^aThe oath which He swore to our father Abraham:

74 To grant us that we,
Being delivered from the hand of our enemies,
Might ^aserve Him without fear,

75 ^aIn holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life.

76 “And you, child, will be called the ^aprophet of the Highest;
For ^byou will go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways,

77 To give ^aknowledge of salvation to His people
By the remission of their sins,
