² You have enlarged the nation
    and given them great joy;
they rejoice before you
    as those who rejoice at the harvest,
    as they exult when dividing spoils.

¹⁶ The people who lived in darkness
    have seen a great light,
    and for those who dwell in a land darkened by the shadow of death
    light has dawned.”

⁷⁹ to shine on those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
    to guide our feet along the path of peace.”
