When I hoped for good, then evil came

Looking for good represents hoping for good things, and evil coming represents evil things happening. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)

I waited for light ... darkness came

Here "light" represents God's blessing and favor and "darkness" represents trouble and suffering. Alternate translation: "I waited for the light of God's blessing, but instead I experienced the darkness of suffering" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
