Luke 1:67-79
67 His father, Zacharias, was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
68 "Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
for he has visited and redeemed his people;
69 and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David
70 (as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets who have been from of old),
71 salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us;
72 to show mercy towards our fathers,
to remember his holy covenant,
73 the oath which he swore to Abraham, our father,
74 to grant to us that we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies,
should serve him without fear,
75 In holiness and righteousness before him all the days of our life.
76 And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High,
for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways,
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the remission of their sins,
78 because of the tender mercy of our God,
whereby the dawn from on high will visit us,
79 to shine on those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death;
to guide our feet into the way of peace."

2 Samuel 7:1-5, 8b-12, 14a, 16
1 When the king lived in his house, and the LORD had given him rest from all his enemies all around,
2 the king said to Nathan the prophet, "See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but God's ark dwells within curtains."
3 Nathan said to the king, "Go, do all that is in your heart; for the LORD is with you."
4 That same night, the LORD's word came to Nathan, saying,
5 "Go and tell my servant David, 'the LORD says, "Should you build me a house for me to dwell in?
8b"I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, to be prince over my people, over Israel.
9 I have been with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you a great name, like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.
10 I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more. The children of wickedness will not afflict them any more, as at the first,
11 and as from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will cause you to rest from all your enemies. Moreover the LORD tells you that the LORD will make you a house.
12 When your days are fulfilled, and you sleep with your fathers, I will set up your offspring* after you, who will proceed out of your body, and I will establish his kingdom.
14a I will be his father, and he will be my son.
15 but my loving kindness will not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before you.
16 Your house and your kingdom will be made sure forever before you. Your throne will be established forever."'"
