The Koine Bible

My soul magnifies the Lord

and my spirit rejoiced in God my Savior

For he looked upon the lowliness of his servant; for behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed.

For the Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name.

and his mercy is unto generation and generation to those who fear him

He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thought of their heart.

He pulled down rulers from thrones and exalted the lowly

He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty.

He has taken hold of Israel his servant, to remember mercy.

as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed forever

The prayer of Zacharias

and he raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of David his servant

as he spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets from of old

salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all those who hate us

to do mercy with our fathers and to remember his holy covenant

the oath which he swore to Abraham our father

to grant us, without fear, having been rescued from the hand of our enemies

to serve him in holiness and righteousness before him all the days of our life

And you also, child, will be called prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways.

To give knowledge of salvation to his people in forgiveness of our sins

through the tender mercy of our God, by which the dawn from on high has visited us

to shine upon those sitting in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace
