His feet were fixed in chains; his neck was put in iron bands;

For this reason pride is round them like a chain; they are clothed with violent behaviour as with a robe.

Be my saviour, O God; because the waters have come in, even to my neck.

To put their kings in chains, and their rulers in bands of iron;

You let us be put in prison; chains were put on our legs.

Those who are without friends, God puts in families; he makes free those who are in chains; but those who are turned away from him are given a dry land.

Those who were in the dark, in the black night, in chains of sorrow and iron;

He took them out of the dark and the black night, and all their chains were broken.

The king sent men to take off his chains; even the ruler of the people, who let him go free.
