English term or phrase: recover himself
Man being by his fall plunged into a labyrinth of misery, and having no way left to ***recover himself***, God was pleased to enter into a new covenant with him, and to restore him to life by a Redeemer.

escapar
Explanation:
I think I would go for "escapar" (del laberinto, o incluso de la "caída"), since it has a sense of not being able to do anything but to wait for God to save him. Maybe "salir" could be another option.

I don't know if it's what you're looking for, but I hope you can find some inspiration with this.

Explanation:
Entiendo que la opción literal es buena, pero prefiero "encontrar la salida" por la alusión al laberinto
