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

¹³ `Then said the king to the ministrants, Having bound his feet and hands, take him up and cast forth to the outer darkness, there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth;

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.

⁶ In dark places He hath caused me to dwell, As the dead of old.

⁷ He hath hedged me about, and I go not out, He hath made heavy my fetter.

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.

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.

¹⁸ They have afflicted with fetters his feet, Iron hath entered his soul,

⁸ And if prisoners in fetters They are captured with cords of affliction,

⁹ Then He declareth to them their work, And their transgressions, Because they have become mighty,

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

²⁴ and God heareth their groaning, and God remembereth His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob;
