Psalm 107:13–20

Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,

and he delivered them from their distress.

He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,

and burst their bonds apart.

Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,

for his wondrous works to the children of man!

For he shatters the doors of bronze

and cuts in two the bars of iron.

Some were fools through their sinful ways,

and because of their iniquities suffered affliction;

they loathed any kind of food,

and they drew near to the gates of death.

Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,

and he delivered them from their distress.

He sent out his word and healed them,

and delivered them from their destruction.

Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,

and he saved them from their distress.

He brought them out of darkness, the utter darkness,

and broke away their chains.

Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love

and his wonderful deeds for mankind,

for he breaks down gates of bronze

and cuts through bars of iron.

Some became fools through their rebellious ways

and suffered affliction because of their iniquities.

They loathed all food

and drew near the gates of death.

Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,

and he saved them from their distress.

He sent out his word and healed them;

he rescued them from the grave.

Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble;

he saved them from their distress.

He brought them out of darkness and gloom

and broke their chains apart.

Let them give thanks to the Lord

for his faithful love

and his wondrous works for all humanity.

For he has broken down the bronze gates

and cut through the iron bars.

Fools suffered affliction

because of their rebellious ways and their iniquities.

They loathed all food

and came near the gates of death.

Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble;

he saved them from their distress.

He sent his word and healed them;

he rescued them from their traps.

“Lord, help!” they cried in their trouble,

and he saved them from their distress.

He led them from the darkness and deepest gloom;

he snapped their chains.

Let them praise the Lord for his great love

and for the wonderful things he has done for them.

For he broke down their prison gates of bronze;

he cut apart their bars of iron.

Some were fools; they rebelled

and suffered for their sins.

They couldn’t stand the thought of food,

and they were knocking on death’s door.

“Lord, help!” they cried in their trouble,

and he saved them from their distress.

He sent out his word and healed them,

snatching them from the door of death.

Then they called to Yahweh for help in their trouble;

he saved them from their distresses.

He brought them out of darkness and gloom,

and tore off their bonds.

Let them give thanks to Yahweh for his loyal love

and his wonderful deeds for the children of humankind,

for he shatters the doors of bronze,

and cuts through the bars of iron.

Fools, because of their rebellious way

and their iniquities, were afflicted.

Their soul abhorred all food,

and they approached the gates of death.

Then they called to Yahweh for help in their trouble.

He saved them from their distresses.

He sent his word and healed them,

and he delivered them from their pits.

Then they cried unto 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 brake their bands in sunder.

Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness,

And for his wonderful works to the children of men!

For he hath broken the gates of brass,

And cut the bars of iron in sunder.

Fools because of their transgression,

And because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat;

And they draw near unto the gates of death.

Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble,

And he saveth them out of their distresses.

He sent his word, and healed them,

And delivered them from their destructions.
