Luke 1:69
67 Then his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied:
68 “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, because He has visited and redeemed His people.
He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of His servant David,
70 as He spoke through His holy prophets, those of ages past,
71 salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us,
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
