Commentaries on Luke 1:69
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 69And hath raised up a horn of salvation - That is, a mighty and glorious Savior: a quotation from Psalm 18:2.

It is reviving; it…Read the comment

There is not a word in this noble burst of divine song about his own child; like Elisabeth losing sight entirely of self, in the glory of a Greater than both. Lord God of Israel--the ancient covenant God of the peculiar people. visited and redeemed--that is, in order to redeem: returned after long absence, and broken His long silence (see Mt 15:31).
