Benedíctus Dóminus Deus Israel: * quia visitávit, et fecit redemptiónem plebis suæ. 1 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and wrought the redemption of his people.
Et eréxit cornu salútis nobis, * in domo David púeri sui. 2 And hath raised up a horn of salvation to us: in the house of his servant David.
Sicut locútus est per os sanctórum, * qui a sæculo sunt Prophetárum ejus. 3 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets: who are from the beginning.
Salútem ex inimícis nostris, * et de manu ómnium qui odérunt nos. 4 Salvation from our enemies; and from the hand of all that hate us.
Ad faciéndam misericórdiam cum pátribus nostris, * et memorári testaménti sui sancti. 5 To perform mercy to our fathers; and to remember his holy testament.
Jusjurándum quod jurávit ad Abraham patrem nostrum, * datúrum se nobis. 6 The oath that he sware to Abraham our father; that he would grant unto us:
Ut sine timóre, de manu inimicórum nostrórum liberáti, * serviámus illi, 7 That being delivered from the hands of our enemies: we may serve him without fear,
In sanctitáte et justítia coram ipso, * ómnibus diébus nostris. 8 In holiness and justice before him: all the days of our life.
Et tu, puer, Prophéta Altíssimi vocáberis; * præibis enim ante fáciem Dómini, paráre vias ejus. 9 And thou, child, shalt be called the Prophet of the Highest; for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways.
Ad dandam sciéntiam salútis plebi ejus; * in remissiónem peccatórum eórum. 10 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people; for the remission of their sins.
Per víscera misericórdiæ Dei nostri; * in quibus visitávit nos óriens ex alto. 11 Through the bowels of the mercy of our God: whereby the orient from on high hath visited us.
Illumináre his, qui in ténebris et in umbra mortis sedent; * ad dirigéndos pedes nostros in viam pacis. 12 To enlighten them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death: to direct our feet into the way of peace.
Glória, &c. Glory, &c.
