Psalms 107:13-20

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.

17They acted like fools in their rebellious ways, and suffered because of their sins.

18They lost their appetite for all food, and they drew near the gates of death.

19They cried out to the Lord in their distress; he delivered them from their troubles.

20He sent them an assuring word and healed them; he rescued them from the pits where they were trapped.
