Let that day’s morning stars never appear; let it wait for daylight that never comes. Don’t let it see the first light of dawn,
because it allowed me to be born and did not hide trouble from my eyes.
Let those who curse days curse that day. Let them prepare to wake up the sea monster Leviathan.
But when I hoped for good, only evil came to me; when I looked for light, darkness came.
No one is brave enough to make it angry, so who would be able to stand up against me?
When it snorts, flashes of light are thrown out, and its eyes look like the light at dawn.
Give glory to the Lord your God before he brings darkness and before you slip and fall on the dark hills. You hope for light, but he will turn it into thick darkness; he will change it into deep gloom.
We hoped to have peace, but nothing good has come. We hoped for a time when he would heal us, but only terror has come.
