^16 (A)The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light,
And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death
Light has dawned.”

^2 (A)The people who walked in darkness
Have seen a great light;
Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death,
Upon them a light has shined.

⁶ “I,^(A) the Lord, have called You in righteousness,
And will hold Your hand;
I will keep You ^(B)and give You as a covenant to the people,
As ^(C)a light to the Gentiles,
^7 (D)To open blind eyes,
To ^(E)bring out prisoners from the prison,
Those who sit in ^(F)darkness from the prison house.

60 Arise, ^(A)shine;
For your light has come!
And ^(B)the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.
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 ^(C)Gentiles shall come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of your rising.

⁷⁸ Through the tender mercy of our God,
With which the ^[a]Dayspring from on high ^[b]has visited us;
^79 (A)To give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death,
To ^(B)guide our feet into the way of peace.”
