Mazmur 107:13-16

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, ¹ 

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! ² 

107:16 For he shattered the bronze gates,

and hacked through the iron bars. ³
