68
"Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has looked favorably on his people and redeemed them.
69
He has raised up a mighty savior a for us in the house of his servant David,
70
as he spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets from of old,
71
that we would be saved from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us.
72
Thus he has shown the mercy promised to our ancestors, and has remembered his holy covenant,
73
the oath that he swore to our ancestor Abraham, to grant us
74
that we, being rescued from the hands of our enemies, might serve him without fear,
75
in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
