4. That day--let it be darkness, Let not God require it from above, Nor let light shine upon it.
5. Let darkness and death-shade redeem it, Let a cloud tabernacle upon it, Let them terrify it as the most bitter of days.
6. That night--let thick darkness take it, Let it not be united to days of the year, Into the number of months let it not come.
7. Lo! that night--let it be gloomy, Let no singing come into it.
