When His lampshoneovermy head,[And] by His lightI walkedthrough darkness;
"Your lifewould be brighterthannoonday;Darknesswould be like the morning.
"The lightin his tentis darkened,And his lampgoesout abovehim.
"Howoftenis the lampof the wickedputout, Or does their calamityfallon them? Does God apportiondestructionin His anger?
"You will also decreea thing,and it will be establishedfor you; And lightwill shineon your ways.
Lightarisesin the darknessfor the upright;[He is] graciousand compassionateand righteous.
For You lightmy lamp;The LORDmy Godilluminesmy darkness.
For by You I can runupon a troop;And by my GodI can leapover a wall.
EventhoughI walkthrough the valleyof the shadowof death,I fearnoevil,for You are with me; Your rodand Your staff,they comfortme.
The LORDis my lightand my salvation;Whomshall I fear?The LORDis the defenseof my life;Whomshall I dread?
Manyare saying,"Whowill showus [any] good?"Liftup the lightof Your countenanceupon us, O LORD!
For the LORDGodis a sunand shield;The LORDgivesgraceand glory;Nogoodthingdoes He withholdfrom those who walkuprightly.
The lightof the righteousrejoices,But the lampof the wickedgoesout.
He who curseshis fatheror his mother,His lampwill goout in timeof darkness.
For there will be nofuturefor the evilman;The lampof the wickedwill be putout.
And He will judgebetweenthe nations,And will renderdecisionsfor manypeoples;And they will hammertheir swordsinto plowsharesand their spearsinto pruninghooks.Nationwill not liftup swordagainstnation,And neveragainwill they learnwar.
"I have come[as] Lightinto the world,sothat everyonewho believesin Me will not remainin darkness.
ThenJesusagainspoketo them, saying,"I amthe Lightof the world;he who followsMe will not walkin the darkness,but will havethe Lightof life."
For this reasonit says,"Awake,sleeper,And arisefrom the dead,And Christwill shineon you."
