43Many times He rescued them; But they were rebellious in their counsel, And sank down in their wickedness. 44Nevertheless He looked [sympathetically] at their distress When He heard their cry; And 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. 47Save us, O Lord our God, And gather us from among the nations, That we may give thanks to Your holy name And glory in praising You.
