Context of Psalms 106:44
42Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were subdued under their power. 43Many times He would rescue them; They, however, were rebellious in their plan, And they sank down into their guilt. Nevertheless He looked at their distress When He heard their cry; 45And He remembered His covenant for their sake, And relented according to the greatness of His mercy. 46He also made them objects of compassion In the presence of all their captors.
