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,

And to remember His holy covenant,

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,
