What does Luke 1:69 mean?

The priest Zechariah (Luke 1:5) is celebrating the birth of his son (Luke 1:57), who will grow to be a powerful herald of the Messiah (Luke 1:13–17; Isaiah 40:3; Malachi 3:1). His prophecy comes in the form of a song, which includes many references to the Old Testament. In the prior verse, Zechariah noted God's deep connection to the people of Israel and His promise to redeem His chosen people (Luke 1:68).

In biblical texts, "horns" are symbolic of power (Psalm 75:10; 89:24; Numbers 23:22; Daniel 7:7; Revelation 17:12). Referring to Jesus (Luke 1:31–33) as a "horn of salvation" (Psalm 18:2) echoes the idea that Messiah will be from the lineage of David (Psalm 132:17; Jeremiah 23:5). When Hannah, mother of the prophet Samuel, praised God for her son's birth, she used similar phrases (1 Samuel 2:10).
