And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.
Thine age (days, or life) shall be clearer than the noon-day - namely, of thy former prosperity; which, in the poet's image, had gone on increasing, until it reached its height, as the sun rises higher and higher until it reaches the meridian. "The path of the just is as the shining light, which shineth more and more unto the perfect day" (Proverbs 4:18).
Thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning - rather, 'Though now thou art in darkness, thou shalt presently be as the morning' (Gesenius). Or else, 'Thy darkness (i:e., if any dark shade should arise on thee, it) shall be as the morning,'-only the dullness of morning twilight, not nocturnal darkness. (Umbreit). х taa`upaah (H5774) means darkness, not "shine forth," as English version: from `uwp (H5774), to cover. However, many Jewish rabbis explain as the English version, 'Thou shalt fly forth from the darkness of thy calamities' - i:e., "shine forth." `uwp (H5774) means primarily to fly.]
