13 In their distress they cried out to the Lord.He saved them from their troubles.
14 He brought them out of the dark, out of death’s shadow.He broke apart their chains.
15 Let them give thanks to the Lord because of his mercy.He performed his miracles for Adam’s descendants.
16 He shattered bronze gatesand cut iron bars in two.
17 Fools suffered because of their disobedienceand because of their crimes.
18 All food was disgusting to them,and they came near death’s gates.
19 In their distress they cried out to the Lord.He saved them from their troubles.
