10. There were those who dwelt in darkness and in the shadow of death, Prisoners in misery and chains,
11. Because they had rebelled against the words of God And spurned the counsel of the Most High.
12. Therefore He humbled their heart with labor; They stumbled and there was none to help.
13. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble; He saved them out of their distresses.
14. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death And broke their bands apart.
15. Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men!
16. For He has shattered gates of bronze And cut bars of iron asunder.
17. Fools, because of their rebellious way, And because of their iniquities, were afflicted.
