1 THE land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali have rejoiced; the mighty dominion, the way by the sea, the country beyond the river Jordan, and Galilee of the Gentiles have rejoiced. 2 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them has the light shined. 3 Thou hast multiplied the people, and thou hast increased its joy; they joy before thee as those who rejoice in the harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil. 4 For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden and the staff of his shoulder and the rod of his oppressor, as in the days of Midian. 5 For every voice which is heard brings terror and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be for burning and fuel for fire.
