¹⁰ Some sat in darkness,^(A) in utter darkness,
    prisoners suffering^(B) in iron chains,^(C)
11 because they rebelled^(D) against God’s commands
    and despised^(E) the plans^(F) of the Most High.
¹² So he subjected them to bitter labor;
    they stumbled, and there was no one to help.^(G)
13 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
    and he saved them^(H) from their distress.
¹⁴ He brought them out of darkness,^(I) the utter darkness,^(J)
    and broke away their chains.^(K)
15 Let them give thanks^(L) to the Lord for his unfailing love^(M)
    and his wonderful deeds^(N) for mankind,
¹⁶ for he breaks down gates of bronze
    and cuts through bars of iron.

¹⁷ Some became fools^(O) through their rebellious ways^(P)
    and suffered affliction^(Q) because of their iniquities.
¹⁸ They loathed all food^(R)
    and drew near the gates of death.^(S)
19 Then they cried^(T) to the Lord in their trouble,
    and he saved them^(U) from their distress.
²⁰ He sent out his word^(V) and healed them;^(W)
    he rescued^(X) them from the grave.^(Y)
21 Let them give thanks^(Z) to the Lord for his unfailing love^(AA)
    and his wonderful deeds^(AB) for mankind.
²² Let them sacrifice thank offerings^(AC)
    and tell of his works^(AD) with songs of joy.^(AE)
