Luke 1:46-50

'Holy is his name' quotes Psalm 111:9, 'holy and awesome is his name' (cf. Psalm 99:3). The fixed liturgical predication of the divine name gives high volume; Psalm 111 also feeds the Benedictus (1:68), showing recurrence.

Luke 1:67-75

'He has visited and worked redemption for his people' quotes Psalm 111:9, 'He sent redemption to his people; he has commanded his covenant forever.' The redemption-to-his-people + everlasting-covenant pairing (cf. 1:72) gives high volume; Psalm 111 also undergirds 'holy is his name' at 1:49.
