Context of Psalms 106:45
43Many times He delivered them, but they kept rebelling deliberately, and so sank low into their iniquity. 44Yet He saw their distress, when He heard their cry, remembered His covenant to them, and relented in the greatness of His mercy. 46He caused them to be pitied in the presence of all their captors. 47Save us, Adonai our God, and gather us from the nations, so we may praise Your holy Name and triumph in Your praise.
