²⁹ Indeed, you are my lamp, O Lord;
    the Lord lightens my darkness.^(A)

¹ The Lord is my light and my salvation;
    whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold^[a] of my life;
    of whom shall I be afraid?^(A)

³ when his lamp shone over my head,
    and by his light I walked through darkness,^(A)

⁹ I must bear the indignation of the Lord
    because I have sinned against him,
until he takes my side
    and executes judgment for me.
He will bring me out to the light;
    I shall see his vindication.^(A)

¹⁹ The sun shall no longer be
    your light by day,
nor for brightness shall the moon
    give light to you by night,^[a]
but the Lord will be your everlasting light,
    and your God will be your glory.^(A)
20 Your sun shall no more go down
    or your moon withdraw itself,
for the Lord will be your everlasting light,
    and your days of mourning shall be ended.^(B)

⁴ They rise in the darkness as a light for the upright;
    they are gracious, merciful, and righteous.^(A)
