Contextual Overview

10 Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Being bound in affliction and iron, 11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, And condemned the counsel of the Most High. 12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labor. They fell down, and there was none to help. 13 Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble, And he saved them out of their distresses. 14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, And broke their bonds in sunder. 15 Let them praise Yahweh for his lovingkindness, For his wonderful works to the children of men! 16 For he has broken the gates of brass, And cut through bars of iron.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

He brought them out of darkness,.... In which they were by nature, into marvellous light; to see their interest in Christ, and his salvation; and to have the light of joy and comfort in him.

And the shadow of death; quickening them by his Spirit and grace; causing them to live by faith upon him; entitling them to eternal life, and securing them from eternal death.

And brake their bands in sunder; their cords and fetters of affliction; or their bands of sin, and the power of it; and loosed them whom Satan had bound and kept so for many years, and brought them into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death - From their captivity; from calamity which seemed to be as gloomy as the shadow of death.

And brake their bands in sunder - Delivered them from their bondage, as if the bands of a prisoner or captive were suddenly broken.
