The Benedictus [Luke 1:68-79] http://www.wf-f.org/MorningOffering.html
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for He has visited and redeemed His people, He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of His servant David, as He spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from of old, That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us; to perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember His holy covenant, The oath which He swore to our father Abraham, to grant us that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, might serve Him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life. And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare His ways, To give knowledge of salvation to His people in the forgiveness of their sins, through the tender mercy of our God, when the day shall dawn upon us from on high To give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. [Catholic Edition - RSV] Benedictus Benedíctus Dóminus, Deus Ísrael, quia visitávit et fecit redemptiónem plebi suæ, et eréxit cornu salútis nobis in domo David púeri sui, sicut locútus est per os sanctórum, qui a sæculo sunt, prophetárum eius, salútem ex inimícis nostris et de manu ómnium, qui odérunt nos; ad faciéndam misericórdiam cum pátribus nostris et memorári testaménti sui sancti, iusiurándum, quod iurávit ad Ábraham patrem nostrum, datúrum se nobis, ut sine timóre, de manu inimicórum liberáti, serviámus illi in sanctitáte et iustítia coram ipso ómnibus diébus nostris. Et tu, puer, prophéta Altíssimi vocáberis: præíbis enim ante fáciem Dómini paráre vias eius, ad dandam sciéntiam salútis plebi eius in remissiónem peccatórum eórum, per víscera misericórdiæ Dei nostri, in quibus visitábit nos óriens ex alto, illumináre his, qui in ténebris et in umbra mortis sedent, ad dirigéndos pedes nostros in viam pacis. Glória Patri et Fílio et Spirítui Sancto. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum.
