O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.
כִּי לֹא בְחַרְבָּם יָרְשׁוּ אָרֶץ וּזְרוֹעָם לֹא-הוֹשִׁיעָה לָּמוֹ כִּֽי-יְמִֽינְךָ וּזְרוֹעֲךָ וְאוֹר פָּנֶיךָ כִּי רְצִיתָֽם׃

Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.
אוֹר זָרֻעַ לַצַּדִּיק וּֽלְיִשְׁרֵי-לֵב שִׂמְחָֽה׃
Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
עֹֽטֶה-אוֹר כַּשַּׂלְמָה נוֹטֶה שָׁמַיִם כַּיְרִיעָֽה׃
Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
זָרַח בַּחֹשֶׁךְ אוֹר לַיְשָׁרִים חַנּוּן וְרַחוּם וְצַדִּֽיק׃
Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
נֵר-לְרַגְלִי דְבָרֶךָ וְאוֹר לִנְתִיבָתִֽי׃

To him that made great lights: for his mercy endureth for ever:
וָאֹמַר אַךְ-חֹשֶׁךְ יְשׁוּפֵנִי וְלַיְלָה אוֹר בַּעֲדֵֽנִי׃
If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
הַֽלְלוּהוּ שֶׁמֶשׁ וְיָרֵחַ הַלְלוּהוּ כָּל-כּוֹכְבֵי אֽוֹר׃
Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.
וְאֹרַח צַדִּיקִים כְּאוֹר נֹגַהּ הוֹלֵךְ וָאוֹר עַד-נְכוֹן הַיּֽוֹם׃
But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
כִּי נֵר מִצְוָה וְתוֹרָה אוֹר וְדֶרֶךְ חַיִּים תּוֹכְחוֹת מוּסָֽר׃
For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
אוֹר-צַדִּיקִים יִשְׂמָח וְנֵר רְשָׁעִים יִדְעָֽךְ׃
The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
בְּאוֹר-פְּנֵי-מֶלֶךְ חַיִּים וּרְצוֹנוֹ כְּעָב מַלְקֽוֹשׁ׃
In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.
וְרָאִיתִי אָנִי שֶׁיֵּשׁ יִתְרוֹן לַֽחָכְמָה מִן-הַסִּכְלוּת כִּֽיתְרוֹן הָאוֹר מִן-הַחֹֽשֶׁךְ׃
Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.
וּמָתוֹק הָאוֹר וְטוֹב לַֽעֵינַיִם לִרְאוֹת אֶת-הַשָּֽׁמֶשׁ׃
Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun:
עַד אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-תֶחְשַׁךְ הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ וְהָאוֹר וְהַיָּרֵחַ וְהַכּוֹכָבִים וְשָׁבוּ הֶעָבִים אַחַר הַגָּֽשֶׁם׃
While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:
בֵּית יַעֲקֹב לְכוּ וְנֵלְכָה בְּאוֹר יְהוָֽה׃
O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.
הוֹי הָאֹמְרִים לָרַע טוֹב וְלַטּוֹב רָע שָׂמִים חֹשֶׁךְ לְאוֹר וְאוֹר לְחֹשֶׁךְ שָׂמִים מַר לְמָתוֹק וּמָתוֹק לְמָֽר׃
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
וְיִנְהֹם עָלָיו בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא כְּנַהֲמַת-יָם וְנִבַּט לָאָרֶץ וְהִנֵּה-חֹשֶׁךְ צַר וָאוֹר חָשַׁךְ בַּעֲרִיפֶֽיהָ׃
And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.
הָעָם הַהֹלְכִים בַּחֹשֶׁךְ רָאוּ אוֹר גָּדוֹל יֹשְׁבֵי בְּאֶרֶץ צַלְמָוֶת אוֹר נָגַהּ עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃
The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
וְהָיָה אֽוֹר-יִשְׂרָאֵל לְאֵשׁ וּקְדוֹשׁוֹ לְלֶהָבָה וּבָעֲרָה וְאָֽכְלָה שִׁיתוֹ וּשְׁמִירוֹ בְּיוֹם אֶחָֽד׃
And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day;
כִּֽי-כוֹכְבֵי הַשָּׁמַיִם וּכְסִילֵיהֶם לֹא יָהֵלּוּ אוֹרָם חָשַׁךְ הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ בְּצֵאתוֹ וְיָרֵחַ לֹֽא-יַגִּיהַ אוֹרֽוֹ׃
For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
כִּי כֹה אָמַר יְהוָה אֵלַי (אשקוטה) אֶשְׁקֳטָה וְאַבִּיטָה בִמְכוֹנִי כְּחֹם צַח עֲלֵי-אוֹר כְּעָב טַל בְּחֹם קָצִֽיר׃
For so the LORD said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
וְהָיָה אוֹר-הַלְּבָנָה כְּאוֹר הַֽחַמָּה וְאוֹר הַֽחַמָּה יִהְיֶה שִׁבְעָתַיִם כְּאוֹר שִׁבְעַת הַיָּמִים בְּיוֹם חֲבֹשׁ יְהוָה אֶת-שֶׁבֶר עַמּוֹ וּמַחַץ מַכָּתוֹ יִרְפָּֽא׃
Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.
אֲנִי יְהוָה קְרָאתִיךָֽ בְצֶדֶק וְאַחְזֵק בְּיָדֶךָ וְאֶצָּרְךָ וְאֶתֶּנְךָ לִבְרִית עָם לְאוֹר גּוֹיִֽם׃
I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
וְהוֹלַכְתִּי עִוְרִים בְּדֶרֶךְ לֹא יָדָעוּ בִּנְתִיבוֹת לֹֽא-יָדְעוּ אַדְרִיכֵם אָשִׂים מַחְשָׁךְ לִפְנֵיהֶם לָאוֹר וּמַֽעֲקַשִּׁים לְמִישׁוֹר אֵלֶּה הַדְּבָרִים עֲשִׂיתִם וְלֹא עֲזַבְתִּֽים׃
And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.
יוֹצֵר אוֹר וּבוֹרֵא חֹשֶׁךְ עֹשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם וּבוֹרֵא רָע אֲנִי יְהוָה עֹשֶׂה כָל-אֵֽלֶּה׃
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
וַיֹּאמֶר נָקֵל מִֽהְיוֹתְךָ לִי עֶבֶד לְהָקִים אֶת-שִׁבְטֵי יַעֲקֹב (ונצירי) וּנְצוּרֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לְהָשִׁיב וּנְתַתִּיךָ לְאוֹר גּוֹיִם לִֽהְיוֹת יְשׁוּעָתִי עַד-קְצֵה הָאָֽרֶץ׃
And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.
הַקְשִׁיבוּ אֵלַי עַמִּי וּלְאוּמִּי אֵלַי הַאֲזִינוּ כִּי תוֹרָה מֵאִתִּי תֵצֵא וּמִשְׁפָּטִי לְאוֹר עַמִּים אַרְגִּֽיעַ׃
Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.
אָז יִבָּקַע כַּשַּׁחַר אוֹרֶךָ וַאֲרֻכָתְךָ מְהֵרָה תִצְמָח וְהָלַךְ לְפָנֶיךָ צִדְקֶךָ כְּבוֹד יְהוָה יַאַסְפֶֽךָ׃
Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.
וְתָפֵק לָֽרָעֵב נַפְשֶׁךָ וְנֶפֶשׁ נַעֲנָה תַּשְׂבִּיעַ וְזָרַח בַּחֹשֶׁךְ אוֹרֶךָ וַאֲפֵלָתְךָ כַּֽצָּהֳרָֽיִם׃
And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday:
עַל-כֵּן רָחַק מִשְׁפָּט מִמֶּנּוּ וְלֹא תַשִּׂיגֵנוּ צְדָקָה נְקַוֶּה לָאוֹר וְהִנֵּה-חֹשֶׁךְ לִנְגֹהוֹת בָּאֲפֵלוֹת נְהַלֵּֽךְ׃
Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.
קוּמִי אוֹרִי כִּי בָא אוֹרֵךְ וּכְבוֹד יְהוָה עָלַיִךְ זָרָֽח׃
Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
וְהָלְכוּ גוֹיִם לְאוֹרֵךְ וּמְלָכִים לְנֹגַהּ זַרְחֵֽךְ׃
And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
לֹא-יִֽהְיֶה-לָּךְ עוֹד הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ לְאוֹר יוֹמָם וּלְנֹגַהּ הַיָּרֵחַ לֹא-יָאִיר לָךְ וְהָיָה-לָךְ יְהוָה לְאוֹר עוֹלָם וֵאלֹהַיִךְ לְתִפְאַרְתֵּֽךְ׃
The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.
לֹא-יָבוֹא עוֹד שִׁמְשֵׁךְ וִירֵחֵךְ לֹא יֵאָסֵף כִּי יְהוָה יִֽהְיֶה-לָּךְ לְאוֹר עוֹלָם וְשָׁלְמוּ יְמֵי אֶבְלֵֽךְ׃
Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.
רָאִיתִי אֶת-הָאָרֶץ וְהִנֵּה-תֹהוּ וָבֹהוּ וְאֶל-הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֵין אוֹרָֽם׃
I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
תְּנוּ לַיהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם כָּבוֹד בְּטֶרֶם יַחְשִׁךְ וּבְטֶרֶם יִֽתְנַגְּפוּ רַגְלֵיכֶם עַל-הָרֵי נָשֶׁף וְקִוִּיתֶם לְאוֹר וְשָׂמָהּ לְצַלְמָוֶת (ישית) וְשִׁית לַעֲרָפֶֽל׃
Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.
וְהַאֲבַדְתִּי מֵהֶם קוֹל שָׂשׂוֹן וְקוֹל שִׂמְחָה קוֹל חָתָן וְקוֹל כַּלָּה קוֹל רֵחַיִם וְאוֹר נֵֽר׃
Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle.
כֹּה׀ אָמַר יְהוָה נֹתֵן שֶׁמֶשׁ לְאוֹר יוֹמָם חֻקֹּת יָרֵחַ וְכוֹכָבִים לְאוֹר לָיְלָה רֹגַע הַיָּם וַיֶּהֱמוּ גַלָּיו יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת שְׁמֽוֹ׃
Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name:
אוֹתִי נָהַג וַיֹּלַךְ חֹשֶׁךְ וְלֹא-אֽוֹר׃
He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light.
וְכִסֵּיתִי בְכַבּֽוֹתְךָ שָׁמַיִם וְהִקְדַּרְתִּי אֶת-כֹּֽכְבֵיהֶם שֶׁמֶשׁ בֶּעָנָן אֲכַסֶּנּוּ וְיָרֵחַ לֹא-יָאִיר אוֹרֽוֹ׃
And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.
כָּל-מְאוֹרֵי אוֹר בַּשָּׁמַיִם אַקְדִּירֵם עָלֶיךָ וְנָתַתִּי חֹשֶׁךְ עַֽל-אַרְצְךָ נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִֽה׃
All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD.
עַל-כֵּן חָצַבְתִּי בַּנְּבִיאִים הֲרַגְתִּים בְּאִמְרֵי-פִי וּמִשְׁפָּטֶיךָ אוֹר יֵצֵֽא׃
Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth.
הוֹי הַמִּתְאַוִּים אֶת-יוֹם יְהוָה לָמָּה-זֶּה לָכֶם יוֹם יְהוָה הוּא-חֹשֶׁךְ וְלֹא-אֽוֹר׃
Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.
