Psalm 107:11-13

New International Reader's Version

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.
¹³ Then they cried out to the Lord because of their problems.
    And he saved them from their troubles.
