2 ^(A)Blow a trumpet in ^(B)Zion;
    sound an alarm on ^(C)my holy mountain!
Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble,
    for ^(D)the day of the Lord is coming; it is near,

^2 (A)a day of darkness and gloom,
    ^(B)a day of clouds and thick darkness!
Like blackness there is spread upon the mountains
    ^(C)a great and powerful people;
^(D)their like has never been before,
    nor will be again after them
    through the years of all generations.
