The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light;
they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death,
upon them hath the light shined.
Thou hast multiplied the nation,
and increased the joy—
they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest,
and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden,
and the staff of his shoulder,
the rod of his oppressor.
for every battle of the warrior is with confused noise,
and garments rolled in blood;
but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.
