Context of Psalms 106:44
42Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were brought into subjection under their hand. 43Many times He delivered them; But they rebelled in their counsel, And were brought low for their iniquity. Nevertheless He regarded their affliction, When He heard their cry; 45And for their sake He remembered His covenant, And relented according to the multitude of His mercies. 46He also made them to be pitied By all those who carried them away captive.
