5 May gloom and utter darkness claim it once more;

may a cloud settle over it;

may blackness overwhelm it.

5 Let gloom and deep darkness claim it.

Let clouds dwell upon it;

let the blackness of the day terrify it.

5 Let the darkness and utter gloom claim that day for its own.

Let a black cloud overshadow it,

and let the darkness terrify it.

5 May darkness and the shadow of death claim it;

May a cloud settle on it;

May the blackness of the day terrify it.

5 Let darkness and gloom have that day.

Let a cloud hide it.

Let thick darkness cover its light.

5 Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own;

Let a cloud dwell upon it;

Let all that maketh black the day terrify it.

5 Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it; let clouds dwell upon it; let darkeners of the day terrify it.

5 Let the darkness and long shadows claim it as their own. 

Let a dark cloud hang over it. 

Let the gloom terrify it. 

5 May darkness and gloom reclaim it,

and a cloud settle over it.

May an eclipse of the sun terrify it.

5 Let gloom and deep darkness claim it.

Let clouds settle upon it;

let the blackness of the day terrify it.

5 Let darkness and deep shadow claim it;

let clouds settle on it;

let them terrify it with the blackness of day.

5 May darkness and deep shadow take it back.

May a cloud settle over it.

May blackness cover up its light.

5 “Let darkness and black gloom claim it;

Let a cloud settle on it;

Let the blackness of the day terrify it.
