"THE PEOPLEWHO WERE SITTINGIN DARKNESSSAWA GREATLIGHT,AND THOSEWHO WERE SITTINGIN THE LANDAND SHADOWOF DEATH,UPON THEM A LIGHTDAWNED."
The landof uttergloomas darkness[itself], Of deepshadowwithoutorder,And which shinesas the darkness."
"Let darknessand blackgloomclaimit; Let a cloudsettleon it; Let the blacknessof the dayterrifyit.
"Thereis nodarknessor deepshadowWherethe workersof iniquitymay hidethemselves.
YetYou have crushedus in a placeof jackalsAnd coveredus with the shadowof death.
But there will be no[more] gloomfor her whowas in anguish;in earliertimesHe treatedthe landof Zebulunand the landof Naphtaliwith contempt,but lateron He shall make[it] glorious,by the wayof the sea,on the othersideof Jordan,Galileeof the Gentiles.
The peoplewho walkin darknessWill seea greatlight;Those who livein a darkland,The lightwill shineon them.
Givegloryto the LORDyour God,BeforeHe bringsdarknessAnd beforeyour feetstumbleOn the duskymountains,And while you are hopingfor lightHe makesit into deepdarkness,[And] turns[it] into gloom.
He who madethe Pleiadesand OrionAnd changesdeepdarknessinto morning,Who also darkensday[into] night,Who callsfor the watersof the seaAnd poursthem out on the surfaceof the earth,The LORDis His name.
Do not rejoiceover me, O my enemy.ThoughI fallI will rise;ThoughI dwellin darkness,the LORDis a lightfor me.
A LIGHTOF REVELATIONTO THE GENTILES,And the gloryof Your peopleIsrael."
