Context of Psalms 107:14
12Therefore He humbled their heart with labor; They stumbled and there was none to help. 13Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble; He saved them out of their distresses. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death And broke their bands apart. 15Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men! 16For He has shattered gates of bronze And cut bars of iron asunder.
