1 The people who walked in darknesshave seen a great light;Upon those who lived in a land of glooma light has shone.
2 You have brought them abundant joyand great rejoicing;They rejoice before you as people rejoice at harvest,as they exult when dividing the spoils.
3 For the yoke that burdened them,the pole on their shoulder,The rod of their taskmaster,you have smashed, as on the day of Midian.
4 For every boot that tramped in battle,every cloak rolled in blood,will be burned as fuel for fire.
