Psalm 107:10-16

Expanded Bible

¹⁰ Some sat in ·gloom [darkness] and ·darkness [deep darkness];
    they were prisoners ·suffering [afflicted] in ·chains [irons].
¹¹ They had ·turned [rebelled] against the words of God
    and had ·refused [rejected] the advice of God Most High.
¹² So he ·broke their pride by [^Lmade their hearts cower with] hard work.
    They stumbled, and no one helped.
¹³ In their ·misery [distress] they cried out to the Lord,
    and he ·saved them from [gave them victory over] their troubles [vv. 6, 19, 28].
¹⁴ He brought them out of their ·gloom [darkness] and ·darkness [deep darkness]
    and ·broke [burst] their chains.
¹⁵ Let them ·give thanks to [praise] the Lord for his ·love [loyalty]
    and for the ·miracles [wonderful works] he does for people [vv. 8, 21, 31].
¹⁶ He ·breaks down [shatters] bronze gates
    and cuts apart iron bars.
