Psalms 107:10-16

10They sat in utter darkness, bound in painful iron chains,

11because they had rebelled against God’s commands, and rejected the instructions of the sovereign king.

12So he used suffering to humble them; they stumbled and no one helped them up.

13They cried out to the Lord in their distress; he delivered them from their troubles.

14He brought them out of the utter darkness, and tore off their shackles.

15Let them give thanks to the Lord for his loyal love, and for the amazing things he has done for people!

16For he shattered the bronze gates, and hacked through the iron bars.
