Psalm 107:16-21

New International Version

¹⁶ for he breaks down gates of bronze
    and cuts through bars of iron.

¹⁷ Some became fools^(A) through their rebellious ways^(B)
    and suffered affliction^(C) because of their iniquities.
¹⁸ They loathed all food^(D)
    and drew near the gates of death.^(E)
19 Then they cried^(F) to the Lord in their trouble,
    and he saved them^(G) from their distress.
²⁰ He sent out his word^(H) and healed them;^(I)
    he rescued^(J) them from the grave.^(K)
21 Let them give thanks^(L) to the Lord for his unfailing love^(M)
    and his wonderful deeds^(N) for mankind.
