Psalms 106:44

42 Their enemies oppressed them, and subdued them under their hand.

43 Many times He rescued them, but they were bent on rebellion and sank down in their iniquity.

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.

46 He made them objects of compassion to all who held them captive.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
