Psalms 107:12–16 · Berean Standard Bible

12 He humbled their hearts with hard labor; they stumbled, and there was no one to help.

13 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them from their distress.

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

15 Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion and His wonders to the sons of men.

16 For He has broken down the gates of bronze and cut through the bars of iron.
