1 The people walking in darkness will see a great light. Upon those dwelling in the land of the shadow of death, light will shine.
2 You will multiply the nation. You will increase the joy. They will rejoice before You like the joy in the harvest, as they revel when they divide spoil.
3 For You will break the burdensome yoke and the rod on his shoulder— the war-club of his oppressor— as in the day of Midian.
4 For every stomping boot quaking and cloak rolled in blood will be for burning— fuel for the fire.
5 For to us a child is born, a son will be given to us, and the government will be upon His shoulder. His Name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God My Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.
