Psalms 106:40-47
40
Therefore the Lord was angry with his people
and abhorred his inheritance.
41
He handed them over to the nations,
and their foes ruled over them.
42
Their enemies oppressed them
and subjected them to their power.
43
Many times he delivered them,
but they were bent on rebellion
and they wasted away in their sin.
44
But he took note of their distress
when he heard their cry;
45
for their sake he remembered his covenant
and out of his great love he relented.
46
He caused them to be pitied
by all who held them captive.
47
Save us, O Lord our God,
and gather us from the nations,
that we may give thanks to your holy name
and glory in your praise.
