68: Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,

69: And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;

70: As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:

71: That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;

72: To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;

73: The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,

74: That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,

75: In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.

76: And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;

77: To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,

78: Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,

79: To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
