13. In their distress they cried to the Lord,who saved them in their peril;
14. He brought them forth from darkness and the shadow of deathand broke their chains asunder.
15. Let them thank the Lord for his mercy,such wondrous deeds for the children of Adam.
16. For he broke down the gates of bronzeand snapped the bars of iron.
17. Some fell sick from their wicked ways,afflicted because of their sins.
18. They loathed all manner of food;they were at the gates of death.
19. In their distress they cried to the Lord,who saved them in their peril,
20. Sent forth his word to heal them,and snatched them from the grave.
21. Let them thank the Lord for his mercy,such wondrous deeds for the children of Adam.
22. Let them offer a sacrifice in thanks,recount his works with shouts of joy.
