^9 (A)He will guard the feet of His saints,
But the ^(B)wicked shall be silent in darkness.

⁶ The light is dark in his tent,
^(A)And his lamp beside him is put out.

¹³ From those who leave the paths of uprightness
To ^(A)walk in the ways of darkness;

⁹ Therefore justice is far from us,
Nor does righteousness overtake us;
^(A)We look for light, but there is darkness!
For brightness, but we walk in blackness!

^10 (A)We grope for the wall like the blind,
And we grope as if we had no eyes;
We stumble at noonday as at twilight;
We are as dead men in desolate places.

¹² “Therefore^(A) their way shall be to them
Like slippery ways;
In the darkness they shall be driven on
And fall in them;
For I ^(B)will bring disaster on them,
The year of their punishment,” says the Lord.
