Albert Barnes Commentary Psalms 107:14

"He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, And brake their bonds in sunder." — Psalms 107:14 (ASV)

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.
