42Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were subdued under the [powerful] hand of their enemies. 43Many times He rescued them; But they were rebellious in their counsel, And sank down in their wickedness. Nevertheless He looked [sympathetically] at their distress When He heard their cry; 45And He remembered His covenant for their sake, And relented [rescinding their sentence] according to the greatness of His lovingkindness [when they cried out to Him], 46He also made them objects of compassion Among those who had carried them away captive.
