- There were those who dwelt in darkness and in the shadow of death, Prisoners in misery and chains,
- Because they had rebelled against the words of God And spurned the counsel of the Most High.
- Therefore He humbled their heart with labor; They stumbled and there was none to help.
- Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble; He saved them out of their distresses.
- He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death And broke their bands apart.
|
- Some sat in darkness and the deepest gloom, prisoners suffering in iron chains,
- for they had rebelled against the words of God and despised the counsel of the Most High.
- So he subjected them to bitter labor; they stumbled, and there was no one to help.
- Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress.
- He brought them out of darkness and the deepest gloom and broke away their chains.
|
- Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men!
- For He has shattered gates of bronze And cut bars of iron asunder.
- Fools, because of their rebellious way, And because of their iniquities, were afflicted.
- Their soul abhorred all kinds of food, And they drew near to the gates of death.
- Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble; He saved them out of their distresses.
|
- Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men,
- for he breaks down gates of bronze and cuts through bars of iron.
- Some became fools through their rebellious ways and suffered affliction because of their iniquities.
- They loathed all food and drew near the gates of death.
- Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress.
|
- He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions.
- Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men!
- Let them also offer sacrifices of thanksgiving, And tell of His works with joyful singing.
|
- He sent forth his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave.
- Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men.
- Let them sacrifice thank offerings and tell of his works with songs of joy.
