Psalms 106:43
41 He delivered them into the hand of the nations, and those who hated them ruled over them.
42 Their enemies oppressed them, and subdued them under their hand.
Many times He rescued them, but they were bent on rebellion and sank down in their iniquity.
44 Nevertheless He heard their cry; He took note of their distress.
45 And He remembered His covenant with them, and relented by the abundance of His loving devotion.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
