Luke 1 — Context

For he has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David,

as he spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets from long ago,

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

He has done this to show mercy to our ancestors, and to remember his holy covenant–

the oath that he swore to our ancestor Abraham. This oath grants

that we, being rescued from the hand of our enemies, may serve him without fear,

in holiness and righteousness before him for as long as we live.
