²¹ Before I go to the place from which I shall not return,
^(A)To the land of darkness ^(B)and the shadow of death,

²² A land as dark as darkness itself,
As the shadow of death, without any order,
Where even the light is like darkness.’ ”

^16 (A)Give glory to the Lord your God
Before He causes ^(B)darkness,
And before your feet stumble
On the dark mountains,
And while you are ^(C)looking for light,
He turns it into ^(D)the shadow of death
And makes it dense darkness.
