13  ^zThen they cried to the Lord in their trouble,

and he delivered them from their distress.

14  He brought them out of ^adarkness and the shadow of death,

and ^bburst their bonds apart.

15  ^cLet them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,

for his wondrous works to the children of man!

16  For he ^dshatters the doors of bronze

and cuts in two the bars of iron.
