^{2 [a] (A)}The people ^(B)who walked in darkness
    have seen a great light;
those who dwelt in a land of ^(C)deep darkness,
    on them has light shone.
^3 (D)You have multiplied the nation;
    you have increased its joy;
they rejoice before you
    as with ^(E)joy at the harvest,
    as they ^(F)are glad ^(G)when they divide the spoil.
