This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Darkness in Scripture (metaphorically taken) signifies ignorance, sin, and misery; and light signifies knowledge, a state of grace, or a state of mirth and jollity; they are both here taken in the latter sense, as light is taken, Est_8:16 Mic_7:8 Job_18:5 Psa_97:11; and also darkness is used, Jer_13:16 2Sa_22:29 Pro_20:20 Joe_2:2 Eze_32:8. The sense is, God hath not brought me into a joyful and prosperous, but into a sad and calamitous, estate and condition.
