“O Lord, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.”
O LORD, I am your servant; I am your servant, the child of your maidservant. You have loosed my bonds. The doubled 'I am your servant' emphasizes total submission to God. The reference to being 'child of your maidservant' suggests inherited covenant status. The freedom ('loosed my bonds') results from this servant-relationship. This verse articulates the theological framework: freedom through service.
