Psalm 107:10-12 Part 2 of 2

Some sat in darkness and deepest gloom,

    imprisoned in iron chains of misery.

They rebelled against the words of God,

    scorning the counsel of the Most High.

That is why he broke them with hard labor;

    they fell and no one was there to help them.

 

That is why he broke them with hard labor; they fell and no one was there to help them.

2 Kings 14:26  For the LORD saw the bitter suffering of everyone in Israel, and that there was no one in Israel, slave or free, to help them.  

(see all chapter 14)

Deuteronomy 32:34-39  

"The LORD says, 'Am I not storing up these things;

    sealing them away in my treasury?

I will take revenge; I will pay them back.

    In due time their feet will slip.

Their day of disaster will arrive,

    and their destiny will overtake them.'

Indeed, the LORD will give justice to his people,

    and he will change his mind about his servants,

when he sees their strength is gone

    and no one is left, slave or free.

Then he will ask, 'Where are their gods,

    the rocks they fled to for refuge?

Where now are those gods,

    who ate the fat of their sacrifices

    and drank the wine of their offerings?

Let those gods arise and help you!

    Let them provide you with shelter!

Look now; I myself am he!

    There is no other god but me!

I am the one who kills and gives life;

    I am the one who wounds and heals;

    no one can be rescued from my powerful hand!' "  (see all chapter 32)

Psalm 18:41  

They called for help, but no one came to their rescue.

    They even cried to the LORD, but he refused to answer.  (see all Psalm 18)

Psalm 22:11-12  

Do not stay far from me,

    for trouble is near,

    and no one else can help me.

My enemies surround me like a herd of bulls;

    fierce bulls of Bashan have hemmed me in!  (see all Psalm 22)

Lamentations 1:7  

In the midst of her sadness and wandering,

    Jerusalem remembers her ancient splendor.

But now she has fallen to her enemy,

    and there is no one to help her.

Her enemy has struck her down

    and laughed as she fell.  (see all chapter 1)
