Luke 1:68-79

English Standard Version

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