 PRAYER OF ZECHARIAH. 
68Εύλογητὸς Κ΄θριος ὁ θεὸς του Ἰσραήλ,
ὁτι ἐπεσκέψατο καὶ ἐποίησεν λύτρωσιν τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ,
 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel,
for he has visited and redeemed his people,		The Song of Zechariah. Canticles.13.68-79 |  
69καὶ ἠγειρεν κέρας σωτηρίας ἡμῖν
ἐν οἰκῳ Δαυὶδ παιδὸς αὐτοῦ,
 and has raised up a horn of salvation for us
in the house of his servant David,		 
70καθὼς ἐλάλησεν διὰ στόματος τῶν ἀγίων ἀπ' αἰῶνος προφητῶν αὐτοῦ,
 as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old, 
71σωτηρίαν ἐξ ἐχθρῶν ἡμῶν καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς πάντων τῶν μισούντων ἡμᾶς·
 that we should be saved from our enemies,
and from the hand of all who hate us;		 
72ποιῆσαι ἐλεος μετὰ τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν
καὶ μνησθῆναι διαθήκης ἀγίας αὐτοῦ,
 to perform the mercy promised to our fathers,
and to remember his holy covenant,		 
73ὁρκον ὃν ὠμοσεν πρὸς Ἀβραὰμ τὸν πατέρα ἡμῶν,
τοῦ δοῦναι ἡμῖν
 the oath which he swore to our father Abraham,
to grant us that we,		 
74ἀφόβως ἐκ χειρὸς ἐχθρῶν ῥυσθέντας
λατρεύειν αὐτῷ
 being delivered from the hand of our enemies,
might serve him without fear,		 
75ἐν ὁσιότητι καὶ δικαιοσύνῃ ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ πάσαις ταῖς ἡμέραις ἡμῶν.
 in holiness and righteousness before him
all the days of our life.		 
76Καὶ σὺ δέ, παιδίον, προφήτης ὑψίστου κληθήσῃ,
προπορεύσῃ γὰρ ΕNΩΠION KΥΡIOΥ ΕTOIMΑΣΑI OΔOΥΣ ΑΥTOΥ,
 And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High;
for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways,		 
77τοῦ δοῦναι γνῶσιν σωτηρίας τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ
ἐν ἀφέσει ἀμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν,
 to give knowledge of salvation to his people
in the forgiveness of their sins,		 
78διὰ σπλάγχνα ἐλέους θεοῦ ἡμῶν,
ἐν οἷς ἐπισκέψεται ἡμᾶς ἀνατολὴ ἐξ ὑψους,
 through the tender mercy of our God,
when the day shall dawn upon us from on high		 
79ΕΠIΦΑNΑI TOIΣ ΕN ΣKOTΕI KΑI ΣKIΑ ΘΑNΑTOΥ KΑΘHMΕNOIΣ,
τοῦ κατευθῦναι τοὺς πόδας ἡμῶν εἰς ὁδὸν εἰρήνης.
 to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the way of peace.

Notes:

The Old Testament in Greek is Rahlf's LXX available in Word format at the Tyndale website, adapted to database format.
The alternative readings of the LXX - Judges (Alexandrinus), Daniel, Susanna & Bel (LXX received text), and Tobit (Sinaiticus [not printed in Swete]) as separate book references so that they can be viewed as an alternative text in parallel with the primary text.
(I have reversed the Swete presentation for Daniel, Susanna, Bel by listing in the later Theodotion LXX text as the main text. )
The LXX cross references to the Hebrew Bible have been extensively revised using those set out in Swete's 'Old Testament in Greek' publications between 1894 and 1909, amended in part to agree with verses as printed in the Biblia Hebraica (1937 publication).
Some verse cross references in Swete's had to be amended to agree with the BHS verse numbering, and there may well be some mismatches that I haven't yet picked up on. (If you find any errors please e-mail me.)
Hebrew Bible has been adapted from the BHS in Word format at Tyndale.
The Septuagint in English ( translated by Sir Lancelot CL Brenton) - is used here only for the books of the Hebrew Bible.
The Revised Standard Version: This generally follows the Hebrew Bible for the canonical OT so I have included the RSV Aprocrypha for the Greek books not covered by Brenton.
Ecclesiasticus - Sirach Chs.30-36: The text of these chapters from 30.24 to 36.16, is disordered.
I have followed Swete's verse numbering for the greek text.
Also, the RSV verse numbering differs from the NRSV.
The NRSV appears to have followed Swete's numbering here, so I have re-ordered the RSV to agree with both the NRSV & Swete for these chapters.
The katapi New Study Bible reference section: displays links to parallel passages.
Passage headings are generally as printed in the Bible Society's "Good News Bible", 1976.
