Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own; Let a cloud dwell upon it; Let all that maketh black the day terrify it.
Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; Let a cloud dwell upon it; Let the blackness of the day terrify it.
Let gloom and deep darkness claim it for their own; let a cloud dwell upon it; let all that blackens the day terrify it (the day that I was born).
May deepest darkness claim it and a cloud linger over it; may all that darkens the day terrify it.
Let darkness and the shadow of death obscure it, let a fog overtake it, and let it be enveloped in bitterness.
