Psalm 107:10-12

New International Reader's Version

¹⁰ Others lived in the deepest darkness.
    They suffered as prisoners in iron chains.
¹¹ That’s because they hadn’t obeyed the commands of God.
    They had refused to follow the plans of the Most High God.
¹² So he made them do work that was hard and bitter.
    They tripped and fell, and there was no one to help them.
