They say, "Let's tear off the shackles they've put on us! Let's free ourselves from their ropes!"

I continually look to the Lord for help, for he will free my feet from the enemy's net.

You will free me from the net they hid for me, for you are my place of refuge.

Listen to the painful cries of the prisoners! Use your great strength to set free those condemned to die!

You cause those who know me to keep their distance; you make me an appalling sight to them. I am trapped and cannot get free.

in order to hear the painful cries of the prisoners, and to set free those condemned to die,

The king authorized his release; the ruler of nations set him free.

Free me from prison, that I may give thanks to your name. Because of me the godly will assemble, for you will vindicate me.
