The people walking in darkness
have seen a great light;(A)
a light has dawned
on those living in the land of darkness.(B)
You have enlarged the nation
and increased its joy.[a](C)
The people have rejoiced before you
as they rejoice at harvest time
and as they rejoice when dividing spoils.(D)
For you have shattered their oppressive yoke(E)
and the rod on their shoulders,
the staff of their oppressor,
just as you did on the day of Midian.(F)
