For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.
Psalm 107:16 belongs to the history of Israel as recorded in Psalm 107. It portrays prisoners sitting in darkness and death-like shadow, bound in affliction and iron. Their bondage came because they rebelled against the words of God and rejected the counsel of the Most High. Their hearts were humbled by hard labor until they fell with no one to help them.
When they cried out in their trouble, He saved them from their distresses. He brought them out of darkness and death-like shadow and broke their bonds apart. He did this by shattering gates of brass and cutting bars of iron in pieces. Studying this deliverance reveals God's goodness, mercy, and love. It calls people to praise Him for His loving-kindness and His wonderful works for humanity.
