- 69 And he has raised up a horn of salvation for us, in the house of David his servant,
- 70 just as he spoke by the mouth of his holy Prophets, who are from ages past:
- 71 salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all those who hate us,
- 72 to accomplish mercy with our fathers, and to call to mind his holy testament,
- 73 the oath, which he swore to Abraham, our father, that he would grant to us,
- 74 so that, having been freed from the hand of our enemies, we may serve him without fear,
- 75 in holiness and in justice before him, throughout all our days.
- 76 And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High. For you will go before the face of the Lord: to prepare his ways,
- 77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people for the remission of their sins,
- 78 through the heart of the mercy of our God, by which, descending from on high, he has visited us,
- 79 to illuminate those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, and to direct our feet in the way of peace.”

Computed by Bless from the US Lectionary cycle — confirm with your parish.

In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version.

Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does.
