For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light.

He will bring forth your righteousness like the dawn, your justice like the noonday sun.

My heart pounds, my strength fails, and even the light of my eyes has faded.

Send out Your light and Your truth; let them lead me. Let them bring me to Your holy mountain and to the place where You dwell.

For it was not by their sword that they took the land; their arm did not bring them victory. It was by Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your face, because You favored them.

…he will join the generation of his fathers, who will never see the light of day.

For You have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.

He led them with a cloud by day and with a light of fire all night.

Blessed are those who know the joyful sound, who walk, O LORD, in the light of Your presence.

Light shines on the righteous, gladness on the upright in heart.

He wraps Himself in light as with a garment; He stretches out the heavens like a tent,

Light dawns in the darkness for the upright—for the gracious, compassionate, and righteous.

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

He made the great lights—His loving devotion endures forever.

If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me, and the light become night around me”—

Praise Him, O sun and moon; praise Him, all you shining stars.

The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining brighter and brighter until midday.

For this commandment is a lamp, this teaching is a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way to life,

The light of the righteous shines brightly, but the lamp of the wicked is extinguished.

When a king’s face brightens, there is life; his favor is like a rain cloud in spring.

And I saw that wisdom exceeds folly, just as light exceeds darkness:

Light is sweet, and it pleases the eyes to see the sun.

…before the light of the sun, moon, and stars is darkened, and the clouds return after the rain,

Come, O house of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD.

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who turn darkness to light and light to darkness, who replace bitter with sweet and sweet with bitter.

In that day they will roar over it, like the roaring of the sea. If one looks over the land, he will see darkness and distress; even the light will be obscured by clouds.

The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death, a light has dawned.

And the Light of Israel will become a fire, and its Holy One a flame. In a single day it will burn and devour Assyria’s thorns and thistles.

For the stars of heaven and their constellations will not give their light. The rising sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light.

For this is what the LORD has told me: “I will quietly look on from My dwelling place, like shimmering heat in the sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”

The light of the moon will be as bright as the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter—like the light of seven days—on the day that the LORD binds up the brokenness of His people and heals the wounds He has inflicted.

“I, the LORD, have called you for a righteous purpose, and I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and appoint you to be a covenant for the people and a light to the nations,

I will lead the blind by a way they did not know; I will guide them on unfamiliar paths. I will turn darkness into light before them and rough places into level ground. These things I will do for them, and I will not forsake them.

I form the light and create the darkness; I bring prosperity and create calamity. I, the LORD, do all these things.

He says: “It is not enough for You to be My Servant, to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the protected ones of Israel. I will also make You a light for the nations, to bring My salvation to the ends of the earth.”

Pay attention to Me, My people, and listen to Me, My nation; for a law will go out from Me, and My justice will become a light to the nations; I will bring it about quickly.

Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will come quickly. Your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.

…and if you give yourself to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light will go forth in the darkness, and your night will be like noonday.

Therefore justice is far from us, and righteousness does not reach us. We hope for light, but there is darkness; for brightness, but we walk in gloom.

Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.

Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.

No longer will the sun be your light by day, nor the brightness of the moon shine on your night; for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your splendor.
