¹⁶ the people that is sitting in darkness saw a great light, and to those sitting in a region and shadow of death -- light arose to them.'

³² a light to the uncovering of nations, and the glory of Thy people Israel.'

⁸ The maker of Kimah and Kesil, And the turner to morning of death-shade, And day `as' night He hath made dark, Who is calling to the waters of the sea, And poureth them on the face of the earth, Jehovah `is' His name;

² The people who are walking in darkness Have seen a great light, Dwellers in a land of death-shade, Light hath shone upon them.

¹ Arise, be bright, for come hath thy light, And the honour of Jehovah hath risen on thee.

² For, lo, the darkness doth cover the earth, And thick darkness the peoples, And on thee rise doth Jehovah, And His honour on thee is seen.

³ And come have nations to thy light, And kings to the brightness of thy rising.

⁵ Let darkness and death-shade redeem it, Let a cloud tabernacle upon it, Let them terrify it as the most bitter of days.

⁷⁸ Through the tender mercies of our God, In which the rising from on high did look upon us,

⁷⁹ To give light to those sitting in darkness and death-shade, To guide our feet to a way of peace.'

⁸ Thou dost not rejoice over me, O mine enemy, When I have fallen, I have risen, When I sit in darkness Jehovah is a light to me.

¹⁶ Give ye to Jehovah your God honour, Before He doth cause darkness, And before your feet stumble on dark mountains, And ye have waited for light, And He hath made it for death-shade, And hath appointed `it' for thick darkness.

⁶ I, Jehovah, did call thee in righteousness, And I lay hold on thy hand, and keep thee, And I give thee for a covenant of a people, And a light of nations.

⁷ To open the eyes of the blind, To bring forth from prison the bound one, From the house of restraint those sitting in darkness.

¹⁰ Inhabitants of dark places and death-shade, Prisoners of affliction and of iron,

¹¹ Because they changed the saying of God, And the counsel of the Most High despised.

¹² And He humbleth with labour their heart, They have been feeble, and there is no helper.

¹³ And they cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distresses He saveth them.

¹⁴ He bringeth them out from the dark place, And death-shade, And their bands He draweth away.

¹⁹ But Thou hast smitten us in a place of dragons, And dost cover us over with death-shade.

²² There is no darkness nor death-shade, For workers of iniquity to be hidden there;

²² A land of obscurity as thick darkness, Death-shade -- and no order, And the shining `is' as thick darkness.'
