10. Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and in irons, [Luke 1:79.]
11. Because they had rebelled against the words of God and spurned the counsel of the Most High.
12. Therefore He bowed down their hearts with hard labor; they stumbled and fell down, and there was none to help.
13. Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and He saved them out of their distresses.
14. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death and broke apart the bonds that held them. [Ps. 68:6; Acts 12:7; 16:26.]
15. Oh, that men would praise [and confess to] the Lord for His goodness and loving-kindness and His wonderful works to the children of men!
