BENEDICTUS
[Blessed] + be the Lord, the God of Israel; *
he has come to his people and set them free.
[He has] raised up for us a mighty savior, * born of the house of his servant David.
[Through his] holy prophets he promised [of old] †
that he would save us from our enemies, *
from the hands of all who hate us.
[He prom]ised to show mercy to our fathers * and to remember his holy covenant.
[This was] the oath he swore to our father Abraham: *
to set us free from the hands of our enemies,
[free to] worship him without fear, *
holy and righteous in his sight all the days of our life.
[You, my] child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High; *
for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way,
[to give] his people knowledge of salvation * by the forgiveness of their sins.
[In the] tender compassion of our God *
the dawn from on high shall break upon us,
