- 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 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 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.
