The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; on those who lived in a land of deep shadow a light has shone. For the yoke that was weighing upon them and the burden upon their shoulders, thou hast broken in pieces O God.

Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them! They will be paid back for what their hands have done.

Listen, that you may live.

Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare.

For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; it is he who will save us.

Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.

Sing to the LORD, for he has done glorious things; let this be known to all the world.
