You led them with a pillar of cloud by day,

and with a pillar of fire by night,

to illuminate the way they should go.

you did not abandon them in the wilderness

because of your great compassion.

During the day the pillar of cloud

never turned away from them,

guiding them on their journey.

And during the night the pillar of fire

illuminated the way they should go.

Consider me and answer, LORD my God.

Restore brightness to my eyes;

otherwise, I will sleep in death.

LORD, you light my lamp;

my God illuminates my darkness.

The precepts of the LORD are right,

making the heart glad;

the command of the LORD is radiant,

making the eyes light up.

Those who look to him are[fn] radiant with joy;

their faces will never be ashamed.

You are resplendent and majestic

coming down from the mountains of prey.

and gave a fire to light up the night.

shining brighter and brighter until midday.

Arise, shine, for your light has come,

and the glory of the LORD shines over you.[fn]

The sun will no longer be your light by day,

and the brightness of the moon will not shine on you.

The LORD will be your everlasting light,

and your God will be your splendor.

Sow righteousness for yourselves

and reap faithful love;

break up your unplowed ground.

It is time to seek the LORD

until he comes and sends righteousness

on you like the rain.

Do not rejoice over me, my enemy!

Though I have fallen, I will stand up;

though I sit in darkness,

the LORD will be my light.
