Psalms 106:45
43 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.
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.
47 Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from the nations, that we may give thanks to Your holy name, that we may glory in Your praise.
