AV Translation:

68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,

69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;

1901 ASV Translation:

68 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; For he hath visited and wrought redemption for his people,

69 And hath raised up a horn of salvation for us In the house of his servant David

Textual Issues:

In the Textus Receptus text of verse 69 there are two uses of the definite article "the" before the words "house" and "servant" that the Nestle/Aland 26 does not have. The difference is a very subtle shift of emphasis. The Textus Receptus focuses upon the "singularity" of the house of David the servant while the Nestle/Aland 26 focuses upon the "quality" of both house and servanthood.
