Light
“The light will be dark in his tent,
And his lamp beside him will be put out.
But I am not silenced by the darkness [of these woes that fell on me],
Nor by the thick darkness which covers my face.
Light is sown [like seed] for the righteous and illuminates their path,
And [irrepressible] joy [is spread] for the upright in heart [who delight in His favor and protection].
Who is among you who fears the Lord,
Who obeys the voice of His Servant,
Yet who walks in darkness and has no light?
Let him trust and be confident in the name of the Lord and let him rely on his God.
