Luke 1:67-75

67His father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied,

68“Praise the Lord God of Israel! He has come to take care of his people and to set them free.

69He has raised up a mighty Savior for us in the family of his servant David.

70He made this promise through his holy prophets long ago.

71He promised to save us from our enemies and from the power of all who hate us.

72He has shown his mercy to our ancestors and remembered his holy promise,

73the oath that he swore to our ancestor Abraham.

74He promised to rescue us from our enemies’ power so that we could serve him without fear

75by being holy and honorable as long as we live.
