The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine)
in qua via lux habitet, et tenebrarum quis locus sit :
Septuagint (Swete)
ποίᾳ δὲ γῇ αὐλίζεται τὸ φῶς, σκότους δὲ ποῖος ὁ τόπος;
Hebrew (WLC)
אֵי זֶ֣ה הַ֭דֶּרֶךְ יִשְׁכָּן א֑וֹר וְ֝חֹ֗שֶׁךְ אֵי זֶ֥ה מְקֹמֽוֹ

Haydock's commentary

Darkness. The poetical style of this book represents these things as real beings, in the same manner (Calmet) as the house, (ver. 20) or palace of the sun, &c., are described by the ancients. (Haydock)
