Isaiah 9:2-3

2The people who walk in the dark now see a bright light! Light is shining on those people who live in a land of complete darkness.

3You, Lord, will make your nation stronger. You will cause your people to be very happy. They will be happy because you are with them. They will be like people who are happy at the time of harvest. They will be happy like soldiers who have won a battle, and who share their enemy's valuable things among themselves.
