- 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.
|
- Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
- Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:
- Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.
- Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
- He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.
|
- 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.
|
- Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
- For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.
- Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
- Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.
- Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.
|
- 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.
|
- He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
- Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
- And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
