14. He brought them out of darkness and deep gloom, breaking their chains.
15. Let them praise Adonai for His mercy, and His wonders for the children of men,
16. for He shattered bronze gates, and broke into pieces iron bars.
17. Some became fools because of their rebellious ways, and were afflicted due to their iniquities.
18. Their soul abhorred all food, and they drew near the gates of death.
19. So they cried out to Adonai in their distress, and He delivered them out of their troubles.
20. He sent His word and healed them, and rescued them from their pits.
21. Let them praise Adonai for His mercy, and His wonders for the children of men.
22. Let them sacrifice thank offerings and tell of His works with joyful singing.
23. Some go out to the sea in ships, doing business on the mighty waters.
24. They saw the works of Adonai, and His wonders in the deep.
25. For He spoke and raised a stormy wind, lifting up towering waves.
26. They mounted up to the sky and plunged down to the depths. In their peril their souls melted away.
