Psalms 106:40-47

40So the Lord was angry with his people and despised the people who belong to him.

41He handed them over to the nations, and those who hated them ruled over them.

42Their enemies oppressed them; they were subject to their authority.

43Many times he delivered them, but they had a rebellious attitude, and degraded themselves by their sin.

44Yet he took notice of their distress, when he heard their cry for help.

45He remembered his covenant with them, and relented because of his great loyal love.

46He caused all their conquerors to have pity on them.

47Deliver us, O Lord, our God! Gather us from among the nations! Then we will give thanks to your holy name, and boast about your praiseworthy deeds.
