Psalm 107:10-16

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁰ Some sat in darkness and in gloom,
    prisoners in misery and in irons,
¹¹ for they had rebelled against the words of God,
    and spurned the counsel of the Most High.
¹² Their hearts were bowed down with hard labour;
    they fell down, with no one to help.
¹³ Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
    and he saved them from their distress;
¹⁴ he brought them out of darkness and gloom,
    and broke their bonds asunder.
¹⁵ Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
    for his wonderful works to humankind.
¹⁶ For he shatters the doors of bronze,
    and cuts in two the bars of iron.
