⁷¹That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
⁷²To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;

⁷⁵In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.

⁷⁹To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
