“Sovereign Lord, as You have promised, You now dismiss Your servant in peace.
Luke 2:29 · BSB
The verses around it, from Luke 2.
25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
26 The Holy Spirit had revealed to him that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
27 Led by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. And when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for Him what was customary under the Law,
28 Simeon took Him in his arms and blessed God, saying:
29 “Sovereign Lord, as You have promised, You now dismiss Your servant in peace.
30 For my eyes have seen Your salvation,
31 which You have prepared in the sight of all people,
32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to Your people Israel.”
33 The Child’s father and mother were amazed at what was spoken about Him.
