Second Example: Prisoners of Rebellion

Psalms 107:10-16

Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron,

because they rebelled against the words of God, and condemned the counsel of the Most High.

Therefore he brought down their heart with labor. They fell down, and there was no one to help.

Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.

He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke away their chains.

Let them praise the LORD for his loving kindness, for his wonderful works to the children of men!

For he has broken the gates of brass, and cut through bars of iron.
