Psalms 106:46
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.
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.
48 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Let all the people say, “Amen!” Hallelujah!
