11 Let the cries of the prisoners reach you.
    With the strength of your power,
        release those condemned to death.[a]
12 Pay back our neighbors seven times[b]

13     Then we, your people, the sheep of your pasture,
    will praise you always, from generation to generation.
        We will declare your praise.
