Disciples’ Literal New Testament
68 “Blessed be the Lord God[a] of Israel, because He visited us and accomplished[b] redemption for His people, 69 and raised-up a horn of salvation for us in the house of David His servant (70 just as He spoke through the mouth of His holy prophets from the past age[c]), 71 a salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all the ones hating us, 72 so as to show mercy to[d] our fathers and remember[e] His holy covenant (73 the oath which He swore to Abraham our father)— that He might grant to us that 74 having been delivered from the hand of our enemies, we might be serving[f] Him fearlessly 75 in holiness and righteousness before Him for all our days.
