43. Many times did [God] deliver them, but they were rebellious in their counsel and sank low through their iniquity.
44. Nevertheless He regarded their distress when He heard their cry;
45. And He [earnestly] remembered for their sake His covenant and relented their sentence of evil [comforting and easing Himself] according to the abundance of His mercy and loving-kindness [when they cried out to Him].
46. He also caused [Israel] to find sympathy among those who had carried them away captive.
47. Deliver us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the nations, that we may give thanks to Your holy name and glory in praising You.
