Psalm 107:10-22 NIRV

Psalm 107:10-22

Others lived in the deepest darkness.

They suffered as prisoners in iron chains.

That’s because they hadn’t obeyed the commands of God.

They had refused to follow the plans of the Most High God.

So he made them do work that was hard and bitter.

They tripped and fell, and there was no one to help them.

Then they cried out to the Lord because of their problems.

And he saved them from their troubles.

He brought them out of the deepest darkness.

He broke their chains off.

Let them give thanks to the Lord for his faithful love.

Let them give thanks for the wonderful things he does for people.

He breaks down gates that are made of bronze.

He cuts through bars that are made of iron.

Others were foolish. They suffered because of their sins.

They suffered because they wouldn’t obey the Lord.

They refused to eat anything.

They came close to passing through the gates of death.

Then they cried out to the Lord because of their problems.

And he saved them from their troubles.

He gave his command and healed them.

He saved them from the grave.

Let them give thanks to the Lord for his faithful love.

Let them give thanks for the wonderful things he does for people.

Let them sacrifice thank offerings.

Let them talk about what he has done as they sing with joy.
