107:10 They sat in utter darkness, 1
bound in painful iron chains, 2
107:11 because they had rebelled against God’s commands, 3
and rejected the instructions of the sovereign king. 4
107:12 So he used suffering to humble them; 5
they stumbled and no one helped them up.
107:13 They cried out to the Lord in their distress;
he delivered them from their troubles.
107:14 He brought them out of the utter darkness, 6
and tore off their shackles.
107:15 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his loyal love,
and for the amazing things he has done for people! 7
