Psalms

Psalm 106:42–45

⁴²Their enemies oppressed them

and subdued them under their hand.

⁴³Many times He rescued them,

but they were bent on rebellion

and sank down in their iniquity.

⁴⁴Nevertheless He heard their cry;

He took note of their distress.

⁴⁵And He remembered His covenant with them,

and relented by the abundance of His loving devotion.
