He reveals the deep things of darkness
Revealing things represents making them known. "Deep things from darkness" represent secrets that people do not know. AT: "He makes known secrets that people do not know" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
brings deep shadows into the light
Bringing things out into the light represents making them known, and here "shadows" is a metonym for the things that are hidden in the shadows, which in turn are a metaphor for truths that God has hidden from people. AT: "makes known things that no one can see" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
He enlarges nations
"He makes nations larger" or "He makes nations have more land"
he also leads them along as prisoners
God leading nations represents God causing enemy nations to lead them. The word "them" represents nations, which here represents the people of those nations. AT: "he also causes their enemies to lead them along as prisoners" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
