5. Let gloom and deep darkness claim it.Let clouds dwell upon it;let the blackness of the day terrify it.
6. That night—let thick darkness seize it!Let it not rejoice among the days of the year;let it not come into the number of the months.
7. Behold, let that night be barren;let no joyful cry enter it.
8. Let those curse it who curse the day,who are ready to rouse up Leviathan.
9. Let the stars of its dawn be dark;let it hope for light, but have none,nor see the eyelids of the morning,
