11 Because they
arebelled against the words of God,
And
1 despised
bthe counsel of the Most High,
12 Therefore He brought down their heart with labor;
They fell down, and
there was anone to help.
13 Then they cried out to the
Lord in their trouble,
And He saved them out of their distresses.
14 aHe brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,
And broke their chains in pieces.
15 Oh, that
men would give thanks to the
Lord for His goodness,
And
for His wonderful works to the children of men!
16 For He has
abroken the gates of bronze,
And cut the bars of iron in two.
17 Fools,
abecause of their transgression,
And because of their iniquities, were afflicted.
18 aTheir soul abhorred all manner of food,
And they
bdrew near to the gates of death.
19 Then they cried out to the
Lord in their trouble,
And He saved them out of their distresses.
20 aHe sent His word and
bhealed them,
And
cdelivered
them from their destructions.
21 Oh, that
men would give thanks to the
Lord for His goodness,
And
for His wonderful works to the children of men!
