Awake, harp and lyre!

I will awaken the dawn.

I will awaken the dawn!

If I take the wings of the dawn,

Clear and pure as the sun,

As majestic as an army with banners?’

A day of darkness and gloom,

A day of clouds and of thick [dark] mist,

Nor will be again afterward

Even for years of many generations.

For behold, He who forms the mountains and creates the wind

And declares to man what are His thoughts,

He who makes the dawn into darkness

And treads on the heights of the earth—

The LORD God of hosts is His name.
