'Darkness' in the Bible

He made darkness His hiding place,dark storm clouds His canopy around Him.

Lord, You light my lamp;my God illuminates my darkness.

But You have crushed us in a haunt of jackalsand have covered us with deepest darkness.

They do not know or understand;they wander in darkness.All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

Will Your wonders be known in the darknessor Your righteousness in the land of oblivion?

You have distanced loved one and neighbor from me;darkness is my only friend.

the plague that stalks in darkness,or the pestilence that ravages at noon.

Clouds and thick darkness surround Him;righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

You bring darkness, and it becomes night,when all the forest animals stir.

He sent darkness, and it became dark—for did they not defy His commands?

Others sat in darkness and gloom—prisoners in cruel chains—

He brought them out of darkness and gloomand broke their chains apart.

Light shines in the darkness for the upright.He is gracious, compassionate, and righteous.

If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me,and the light around me will be night”—

even the darkness is not dark to You.The night shines like the day;darkness and light are alike to You.

For the enemy has pursued me,crushing me to the ground,making me live in darknesslike those long dead.
