⁹ May the stars of its morning be dark;
May it look for light, but have none,
And not see the ^[a]dawning of the day;

¹⁸ His sneezings flash forth light,
And his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.

^16 (A)Give glory to the Lord your God
Before He causes ^(B)darkness,
And before your feet stumble
On the dark mountains,
And while you are ^(C)looking for light,
He turns it into ^(D)the shadow of death
And makes it dense darkness.

^26 (A)But when I looked for good, evil came to me;
And when I waited for light, then came darkness.
