will relate to you their continual conflicts, their deep afflictions,
their adversities. They never talk about the mercy and help which God has vouchsafed them.

He/she will tell you that the Lord drew him/her up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog and set his/her feet upon a rock, making his/her steps secure.
