12So He humbled their heart with trouble. They stumbled, and no one was helping. 13So they cried out to Adonai in their distress, and He delivered them out of their troubles. He brought them out of darkness and deep gloom, breaking their chains. 15Let them praise Adonai for His mercy, and His wonders for the children of men, 16for He shattered bronze gates, and broke into pieces iron bars.
