⁵ May gloom and utter darkness^(A) claim it once more;
    may a cloud settle over it;
    may blackness overwhelm it.

⁸ He who made the Pleiades and Orion,^(A)
    who turns midnight into dawn^(B)
    and darkens day into night,^(C)
who calls for the waters of the sea
    and pours them out over the face of the land—
    the Lord is his name.^(D)
