Our God has given us a mighty Savior from the family of David his servant.
He has provided for us a mighty Savior, a descendant of his servant David.
In that day I will cause a horn to sprout for the house of Israel, and I will open your mouth to speak among them. Then they will know that I am the LORD."
(69) Hath raised up an horn of salvation.--The symbolism of the horn comes from Psalm 132:17, where it is used of the representative of the House of David, and answers to the "Anointed" of the other clause of the verse. It originated obviously in the impression made by the horns of the bull or stag, as the symbols of strength. Here, following in the steps of the Psalmist, Zacharias uses it as a description of the coming Christ, who is to be raised up in the House of David.
