67 And his father Zacharias was filled with [the] Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,

68 Blessed [is the] Lord, the God of Israel, for He has visited and redeemed His people

69 and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of His servant David,

70 as He spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from eternity;

71 that we should be saved from our enemies and from [the] hand of all who hate us,

72 to perform the mercy [promised] to our fathers, and to remember His holy covenant,

73 [the] oath which He swore to our father Abraham,

74 that He would grant to 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 you, child, will be called the prophet of [the] Highest, for you shall go before [the] face of [the] Lord to prepare His ways,

77 to give knowledge of salvation to His people by the remission of their sins,

78 through [the] tender mercy of our God; by which [the] Dayspring from on high has visited us,

79 to give light to those who sit in darkness and [in] the shadow of death, to guide our feet into [the] way of peace.
