1 For [there will be] no gloom on her who [is] distressed as at the former time. The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, || So the latter has honored the way of the sea, || Beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations. 2 The people who are walking in darkness || Have seen a great light, || Dwellers in a land of death-shade, || Light has shone on them. 3 You have multiplied the nation, || You have made its joy great, || They have rejoiced before You as the joy in harvest, || As [men] rejoice in their apportioning spoil. 4 Because the yoke of its burden, || And the staff of its shoulder, the rod of its exactor, || You have broken as [in] the day of Midian. 5 For every battle of a warrior [is] with rushing, and raiment rolled in blood, || And it has been for burning—fuel of fire.
