³ when his lamp shone on my head
    and by his light I walked through darkness!^(A)

²⁶ Yet when I hoped for good, evil came;
    when I looked for light, then came darkness.^(A)

⁹ So justice is far from us,
    and righteousness does not reach us.
We look for light, but all is darkness;^(A)
    for brightness, but we walk in deep shadows.
