Psalms 107:10-16

10Others sat in darkness and gloom  — prisoners in cruel chains  —

11because they rebelled against God’s commands and despised the counsel of the Most High.

12He broke their spirits with hard labor; they stumbled, and there was no one to help.

13Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble; he saved them from their distress.

14He brought them out of darkness and gloom and broke their chains apart.

15Let them give thanks to the Lord for his faithful love and his wondrous works for all humanity.

16For he has broken down the bronze gates and cut through the iron bars.
