2 See, darkness covers the earth

and thick darkness is over the peoples,

but the Lord rises upon you

and his glory appears over you.

3 Nations will come to your light,

and kings to the brightness of your dawn.

2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,

And gross darkness the people:

But the Lord shall arise upon thee,

And his glory shall be seen upon thee.

3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light,

And kings to the brightness of thy rising.

2 Darkness as black as night covers all the nations of the earth,

but the glory of the Lord rises and appears over you.

3 All nations will come to your light;

mighty kings will come to see your radiance.

2 For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,

And deep darkness the people;

But the Lord will arise over you,

And His glory will be seen upon you.

3 The Gentiles shall come to your light,

And kings to the brightness of your rising.

2 Darkness now covers the earth;

deep darkness covers her people.

But the Lord shines on you,

and people see his glory around you.

3 Nations will come to your light;

kings will come to the brightness of your sunrise.

2 For, behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples; but Jehovah will arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. 3 And nations shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

2 For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples; but Jehovah will arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen on thee. 3 And the nations shall walk by thy light, and kings by the brightness of thy rising.

2 Darkness now covers the earth, 

and thick darkness covers the nations. 

But the Lord dawns, 

and his glory appears over you. 

3 Nations will come to your light, 

and kings will come to the brightness of your dawn. 

2 For look, darkness covers the earth,

and total darkness the peoples;

but the Lord will shine over you,

and His glory will appear over you.

3 Nations will come to your light,

and kings to the brightness of your radiance.

2 For darkness shall cover the earth,

and thick darkness the peoples;

but the Lord will arise upon you,

and his glory will appear over you.

3 Nations shall come to your light,

and kings to the brightness of your dawn.

2 For look! darkness shall cover the earth,

and thick darkness the peoples,

but Yahweh will rise on you,

and his glory will appear over you.

3 And nations shall come to your light,

and kings to the bright light of your sunrise.

2 Darkness covers the earth.

Thick darkness spreads over the nations.

But I will rise and shine on you.

My glory will appear over you.

3 Nations will come to your light.

Kings will come to the brightness of your new day.

2 “For behold, darkness will cover the earth

And deep darkness the peoples;

But the Lord will rise upon you

And His glory will appear upon you.

3 “Nations will come to your light,

And kings to the brightness of your rising.
