Second Example: Prisoners of Rebellion

Psalms 107:10-16

Some lived in darkness, in death-dark gloom, bound in misery and iron chains,

because they defied God's word, scorned the counsel of the Most High.

So he humbled their hearts by hard labor; when they stumbled, no one came to their aid.

In their trouble they cried to ADONAI, and he rescued them from their distress.

He led them from darkness, from death-dark gloom, shattering their chains.

Let them give thanks to ADONAI for his grace, for his wonders bestowed on humanity!

For he shattered bronze doors and cut through iron bars.
