New King James Version
Psalm 107:10-16
New King James Version
10 Those who (A)sat in darkness and in the shadow of death,
(B)Bound[a] in affliction and irons—
11 Because they (C)rebelled against the words of God,
And [b]despised (D)the counsel of the Most High,
12 Therefore He brought down their heart with labor;
They fell down, and there was (E)none to help.
13 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He saved them out of their distresses.
14 (F)He 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 (G)broken the gates of bronze,
And cut the bars of iron in two.

Amplified Bible
10
Some dwelt in darkness and in the deep (deathly) darkness,
Prisoners [bound] in misery and chains,(A)
11
Because they had rebelled against the precepts of God
And spurned the counsel of the Most High.
12
Therefore He humbled their heart with hard labor;
They stumbled and there was no one to help.
13
Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He saved them from their distresses.
14
He brought them out of darkness and the deep (deathly) darkness
And broke their bonds apart.(B)

Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness,
And for His wonderful acts to the children of men!
16
For He has shattered the gates of bronze
And cut the bars of iron apart.

New International Version
10 Some sat in darkness,(A) in utter darkness,
prisoners suffering(B) in iron chains,(C)
11 because they rebelled(D) against God’s commands
and despised(E) the plans(F) of the Most High.
12 So he subjected them to bitter labor;
they stumbled, and there was no one to help.(G)
13 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he saved them(H) from their distress.
14 He brought them out of darkness,(I) the utter darkness,(J)
and broke away their chains.(K)
15 Let them give thanks(L) to the Lord for his unfailing love(M)
and his wonderful deeds(N) for mankind,
16 for he breaks down gates of bronze
and cuts through bars of iron.

King James Version
10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:
12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.
13 Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.
15 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
16 For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.
