Canticle of Zechariah English translation[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, [to shine] on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, * and to guide our feet into the way of peace.
