¹¹ If I say, "Surely the darkness will overwhelm me; The light around me will be night;"

¹² Even the darkness doesn't hide from you, But the night shines as the day. The darkness is like light to you.

²³ Then I will tell them, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.'

¹⁵ Woe to those who hide deep their counsel from Yahweh, and whose works are in the dark, and who say, Who sees us? and who knows us?

² The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light: those who lived in the land of the shadow of death, on them has the light shined.

¹⁷ For the morning is to all of them like thick darkness, For they know the terrors of the thick darkness.
