The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.

In context

2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
