11. because they rebelled against the words of God and spurned the counsel of the Most High,
12. he therefore humbled their heart with trouble. They stumbled and there was no helper.
13. Then they called to Yahweh for help in their trouble; he saved them from their distresses.
14. He brought them out of darkness and gloom, and tore off their bonds.
15. Let them give thanks to Yahweh for his loyal love and his wonderful deeds for the children of humankind,
16. for he shatters the doors of bronze, and cuts through the bars of iron.
