Psalm 111:4 Douay-Rheims

To the righteous a light is risen up in darkness: he is merciful, and compassionate and just.

Rashi

1040–1105 Jewish

He shone a light in the darkness Heb. זרח [the “kal” conjugation], like הזריח, [the “hiph’il” or causative conjugation]. Its midrashic interpretation is that He Himself, so to speak, becomes a light for them, as (above 27:1): “The Lord is my light and my salvation.”

Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
