Psalm 106

Elberfelder Bibel

1 Halleluja! Preist den HERRN, denn er ist gut! Denn seine Gnade ⟨währt⟩ ewig. (Ps 100,5; Ps 135,3) 2 Wer wird ⟨alle⟩ die Machttaten des HERRN erzählen, hören lassen all seinen Ruhm? 3 Glücklich, die das Recht bewahren, die Gerechtigkeit üben^[1] zu aller Zeit! (Jes 56,1) 4 Gedenke meiner^[2], HERR, in der Zuneigung zu^[3] deinem Volk. Suche mich^[4] heim mit deiner Rettung, (Ps 25,7; Lk 23,42) 5 dass ich anschaue das Glück deiner Auserwählten, mich freue an der Freude deiner Nation, mich rühme mit deinem Erbteil. (5Mo 32,9; Ps 105,43) 6 Wir haben gesündigt samt unseren Vätern, haben unrecht getan, haben gottlos gehandelt. (1Kön 8,47; Esr 9,10; Dan 9,5) 7 Unsere Väter in Ägypten begriffen nicht deine Wunder, sie gedachten nicht der Menge deiner Gnadenerweise, sie waren widerspenstig am Meer, am Schilfmeer. (2Mo 14,11) 8 Aber er rettete sie um seines Namens willen, um seine Macht kundzutun. (Ps 23,3; Jes 48,9) 9 Und er bedrohte das Schilfmeer^[5], und es wurde trocken. Er ließ sie durch die Fluten^[6] gehen wie durch eine Wüste. (2Mo 14,29; Jes 63,11) 10 Er rettete sie aus der Hand dessen, der sie hasste, er erlöste sie aus der Hand des Feindes. (Ps 107,2) 11 Und das Wasser bedeckte ihre Bedränger, nicht einer von ihnen blieb übrig. (2Mo 14,28; Ps 78,53) 12 Da glaubten sie seinen Worten, sie sangen sein Lob. (2Mo 14,31; 2Mo 15,1) 13 Schnell vergaßen sie seine Taten, warteten nicht auf seinen Rat. (Ps 78,11) 14 Sie gierten voller Begierde in der Wüste, stellten Gott in der Einöde auf die Probe. (4Mo 11,4; Ps 78,18) 15 Da erfüllte er ihnen ihre Bitte, und er sandte Schwindsucht in ihre Seele. (Ps 78,29) 16 Sie wurden eifersüchtig auf Mose im Lager, auf Aaron, den Heiligen des HERRN. (4Mo 16,3; 4Mo 16,7) 17 Die Erde tat sich auf und verschlang Datan und bedeckte die Rotte Abirams. (4Mo 16,31) 18 Ein Feuer brannte unter ihrer Rotte, eine Flamme verzehrte die Gottlosen. (4Mo 16,35) 19 Sie machten ein Kalb am Horeb und beugten sich vor einem gegossenen Bild. (2Mo 32,1; Apg 7,41) 20 Sie vertauschten ihre Herrlichkeit mit dem Bild eines Stieres, der Gras frisst. (2Mo 32,4; Jer 2,11; Röm 1,23) 21 Sie vergaßen Gott, ihren Retter, der große Dinge getan in Ägypten, (5Mo 32,18; Ps 78,42; Jes 17,10) 22 Wunder im Lande Hams, Furchtbares am Schilfmeer. (2Mo 14,28; Ps 105,27; Apg 7,36) 23 Da gedachte er, sie auszurotten, wäre nicht Mose gewesen, sein Erwählter. Der trat in die Bresche vor ihn, um seinen Grimm vom Verderben abzuwenden. (2Mo 32,11) 24 Und sie verschmähten das kostbare Land, glaubten nicht seinem Wort. (4Mo 13,32; 5Mo 1,32; Jer 3,19) 25 Sie murrten in ihren Zelten, hörten nicht auf die Stimme des HERRN. (4Mo 14,1) 26 Da erhob er seine Hand gegen sie, um sie niederzuschlagen in der Wüste, (4Mo 14,28; Hes 20,15; 1Kor 10,5; Hebr 3,18)

4Mo 14,28Hes 20,151Kor 10,5Hebr 3,18

27 um ihre Nachkommenschaft zu Fall zu bringen unter den Nationen, um sie zu zersprengen in die Länder. (3Mo 26,33; Hes 20,23) 28 Und sie hängten sich an Baal-Peor und aßen Schlachtopfer der Toten. (4Mo 25,1; Hos 9,10; 1Kor 8,4) 29 So erbitterten sie ⟨ihn⟩ durch ihre Taten, eine Plage brach unter ihnen aus. (4Mo 25,3; 1Kor 10,8) 30 Da stand Pinhas auf und übte Gericht, und der Plage wurde gewehrt. (4Mo 25,7) 31 Das wurde ihm zur Gerechtigkeit gerechnet, von Generation zu Generation bis in Ewigkeit. (1Mo 15,6; 4Mo 25,10) 32 Und sie erzürnten ⟨ihn⟩ am Wasser von Meriba, und es erging Mose übel ihretwegen. (4Mo 20,13; 5Mo 4,21) 33 Denn sie reizten seinen Geist, sodass er unbedacht redete mit seinen Lippen. (4Mo 20,10) 34 Sie vertilgten die Völker nicht, die der HERR ihnen genannt hatte^[7]. (5Mo 7,2; Ri 1,21) 35 Sie vermischten sich mit den Nationen und lernten ihre Werke. (Ri 3,5) 36 Sie dienten ihren Götzen, die wurden ihnen zum Fallstrick. // (2Mo 23,33; Ri 3,7) 37 Und sie opferten ihre Söhne und ihre Töchter den Dämonen, (3Mo 17,7; 5Mo 32,17; 1Kor 10,20) 38 vergossen unschuldiges Blut, das Blut ihrer Söhne und Töchter, die sie den Götzen Kanaans opferten. So wurde das Land durch die Blutschuld entweiht. (3Mo 18,21; 4Mo 35,33; 2Kön 17,17; Jer 19,4; Hes 16,20)

3Mo 18,214Mo 35,332Kön 17,17Jer 19,4Hes 16,20

39 Sie verunreinigten sich durch ihre Werke und hurten durch ihre Taten. (2Mo 34,16; Jer 3,6; Hes 20,30; Mt 15,20)

2Mo 34,16Jer 3,6Hes 20,30Mt 15,20

40 Da entbrannte der Zorn des HERRN gegen sein Volk, und er verabscheute sein Erbteil. (5Mo 9,29; Ri 2,14) 41 Er gab sie in die Hand der Nationen, und die sie hassten, herrschten über sie. 42 Ihre Feinde bedrängten sie, und sie wurden gebeugt unter ihrer Hand. (Ri 2,14) 43 Oft rettete er sie. Sie aber waren widerspenstig in ihren Plänen, und sie verkamen wegen ihrer Ungerechtigkeit. (Ri 2,16; Ri 6,6; Ps 107,11) 44 Doch er sah an ihr Elend, als er ihr Schreien hörte. (Ri 6,7; Ps 107,6) 45 Und er gedachte um ihretwillen seines Bundes, und es reute ihn in der Fülle^[8] seiner Gnade. (3Mo 26,45; Ri 2,18; Ps 105,8; Ps 136,23; Kla 3,32)

3Mo 26,45Ri 2,18Ps 105,8Ps 136,23Kla 3,32

46 Er ließ sie Erbarmen finden bei allen, die sie gefangen weggeführt hatten. (1Kön 8,50; Esr 9,9; Jer 42,12) 47 Rette uns, HERR, unser Gott, und sammle uns aus den Nationen, dass wir deinen heiligen Namen preisen, dass wir uns rühmen deines Lobes! (5Mo 30,3; 1Chr 16,35) 48 Gepriesen sei der HERR, der Gott Israels, von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit! Und alles Volk sage: Amen! Halleluja! (1Chr 16,36; Ps 41,14)

2 Who can utter the mighty deeds of the Lord, or declare all his praise? 3 Blessed are they who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times! (Ps 15,2) 4 Remember me, O Lord, when you show favor to your people; help me when you save them,^[1] (Ps 119,132) 5 that I may look upon the prosperity of your chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your inheritance. (Ps 105,6; Ps 105,43) 6 Both we and our fathers have sinned; we have committed iniquity; we have done wickedness. (3Mo 26,40; 1Kön 8,47; Esr 9,6; Neh 1,6; Neh 9,16; Ps 79,8; Jer 3,25; Jer 14,20; Dan 9,5)

7 Our fathers, when they were in Egypt, did not consider your wondrous works; they did not remember the abundance of your steadfast love, but rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea. (2Mo 14,11; Ps 106,13; Ps 106,21) 8 Yet he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make known his mighty power. (2Mo 9,16; Hes 20,9; Hes 20,14) 9 He rebuked the Red Sea, and it became dry, and he led them through the deep as through a desert. (2Mo 14,21; Ps 18,15; Ps 104,7; Jes 50,2; Jes 51,10; Jes 63,13)

2Mo 14,21Ps 18,15Ps 104,7Jes 50,2Jes 51,10Jes 63,13

10 So he saved them from the hand of the foe and redeemed them from the power of the enemy. (2Mo 14,30; Ps 107,2) 11 And the waters covered their adversaries; not one of them was left. (2Mo 14,28; 2Mo 15,5) 12 Then they believed his words; they sang his praise. (2Mo 14,31; 2Mo 15,1) 13 But they soon forgot his works; they did not wait for his counsel. (2Mo 15,24; 2Mo 16,2; 2Mo 17,2; Ps 78,11; Ps 107,11)

2Mo 15,242Mo 16,22Mo 17,2Ps 78,11Ps 107,11

14 But they had a wanton craving in the wilderness, and put God to the test in the desert; (2Mo 17,2; 4Mo 11,4; Ps 78,18; 1Kor 10,6; 1Kor 10,9)

2Mo 17,24Mo 11,4Ps 78,181Kor 10,61Kor 10,9

15 he gave them what they asked, but sent a wasting disease among them. (Ps 78,29; Jes 10,16) 16 When men in the camp were jealous of Moses and Aaron, the holy one of the Lord, (4Mo 16,1; 5Mo 33,2; Sach 14,5; Jud 1,14)

4Mo 16,15Mo 33,2Sach 14,5Jud 1,14

17 the earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram. (4Mo 16,31; 5Mo 11,6) 18 Fire also broke out in their company; the flame burned up the wicked. (4Mo 16,35) 19 They made a calf in Horeb and worshiped a metal image. (2Mo 32,4; 5Mo 9,8; Apg 7,41) 20 They exchanged the glory of God^[2] for the image of an ox that eats grass. (Jer 2,11; Röm 1,23) 21 They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt, (5Mo 32,18; Ps 78,11; Ps 106,7; Ps 106,13)

5Mo 32,18Ps 78,11Ps 106,7Ps 106,13

22 wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome deeds by the Red Sea. (Ps 78,51; Ps 105,23; Ps 105,27) 23 Therefore he said he would destroy them— had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him, to turn away his wrath from destroying them. (2Mo 32,10; 5Mo 9,14; Ps 105,6; Hes 20,8; Hes 22,30)

2Mo 32,105Mo 9,14Ps 105,6Hes 20,8Hes 22,30

25 They murmured in their tents, and did not obey the voice of the Lord. (4Mo 14,2; 5Mo 1,27) 26 Therefore he raised his hand and swore to them that he would make them fall in the wilderness, (2Mo 6,8; 4Mo 14,30; 5Mo 32,40; Ps 95,11; Hes 20,6; Hes 20,15; Hes 20,23)

27 and would make their offspring fall among the nations, scattering them among the lands. (Ps 44,11) 28 Then they yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor, and ate sacrifices offered to the dead; (4Mo 25,3; Jes 8,19; Hos 9,10) 29 they provoked the Lord to anger with their deeds, and a plague broke out among them. 30 Then Phinehas stood up and intervened, and the plague was stayed. (4Mo 25,7) 31 And that was counted to him as righteousness from generation to generation forever. (1Mo 15,6; 4Mo 25,10) 32 They angered him at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill with Moses on their account, (4Mo 20,2; 5Mo 1,37) 33 for they made his spirit bitter,^[3] and he spoke rashly with his lips. (4Mo 20,10; Ps 78,40; Ps 107,11; Jes 63,10)

4Mo 20,10Ps 78,40Ps 107,11Jes 63,10

5Mo 7,25Mo 7,16Ri 1,21Ri 1,27Ri 2,2

35 but they mixed with the nations and learned to do as they did. (Ri 3,5; Esr 9,2) 36 They served their idols, which became a snare to them. (2Mo 23,33; 5Mo 7,16; Ri 2,3) 37 They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons; (5Mo 32,17; 2Kön 16,3; Jes 57,5; Hes 16,20; Hes 20,26; 1Kor 10,20)

5Mo 32,172Kön 16,3Jes 57,5Hes 16,20Hes 20,261Kor 10,20

38 they poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted with blood. (Jes 24,5) 39 Thus they became unclean by their acts, and played the whore in their deeds. (Ps 73,27; Hes 20,18; Hes 20,30) 40 Then the anger of the Lord was kindled against his people, and he abhorred his heritage; (Ri 2,14; Ps 28,9; Ps 78,59; Ps 78,62)

Ri 2,14Ps 28,9Ps 78,59Ps 78,62

41 he gave them into the hand of the nations, so that those who hated them ruled over them. (Neh 9,27) 42 Their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their power. (Ri 4,3; Ri 10,12) 43 Many times he delivered them, but they were rebellious in their purposes and were brought low through their iniquity. (3Mo 26,39; Ri 2,16; Ps 81,12) 44 Nevertheless, he looked upon their distress, when he heard their cry. (Ri 3,9; Ri 4,3; Ri 6,7; Ri 10,10)

45 For their sake he remembered his covenant, and relented according to the abundance of his steadfast love. (3Mo 26,42; Ps 51,1; Ps 69,16; Ps 90,13; Ps 105,8; Ps 106,7; Jes 63,7; Kla 3,32)

1 Praise the Lord.^[1] Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures for ever. 2 Who can proclaim the mighty acts of the Lord or fully declare his praise? 3 Blessed are those who act justly, who always do what is right. 4 Remember me, Lord, when you show favour to your people, come to my aid when you save them, 5 that I may enjoy the prosperity of your chosen ones, that I may share in the joy of your nation and join your inheritance in giving praise. 6 We have sinned, even as our ancestors did; we have done wrong and acted wickedly. 7 When our ancestors were in Egypt, they gave no thought to your miracles; they did not remember your many kindnesses, and they rebelled by the sea, the Red Sea.^[2] 8 Yet he saved them for his name’s sake, to make his mighty power known. 9 He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; he led them through the depths as through a desert. 10 He saved them from the hand of the foe; from the hand of the enemy he redeemed them. 11 The waters covered their adversaries; not one of them survived. 12 Then they believed his promises and sang his praise. 13 But they soon forgot what he had done and did not wait for his plan to unfold. 14 In the desert they gave in to their craving; in the wilderness they put God to the test. 15 So he gave them what they asked for, but sent a wasting disease among them. 16 In the camp they grew envious of Moses and of Aaron, who was consecrated to the Lord. 17 The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan; it buried the company of Abiram. 18 Fire blazed among their followers; a flame consumed the wicked. 19 At Horeb they made a calf and worshipped an idol cast from metal. 20 They exchanged their glorious God for an image of a bull, which eats grass. 21 They forgot the God who saved them, who had done great things in Egypt, 22 miracles in the land of Ham and awesome deeds by the Red Sea. 23 So he said he would destroy them – had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him to keep his wrath from destroying them. 24 Then they despised the pleasant land; they did not believe his promise. 25 They grumbled in their tents and did not obey the Lord. 26 So he swore to them with uplifted hand that he would make them fall in the wilderness, 27 make their descendants fall among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands. 28 They yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods; 29 they aroused the Lord’s anger by their wicked deeds, and a plague broke out among them. 30 But Phinehas stood up and intervened, and the plague was checked. 31 This was credited to him as righteousness for endless generations to come. 32 By the waters of Meribah they angered the Lord, and trouble came to Moses because of them; 33 for they rebelled against the Spirit of God, and rash words came from Moses’ lips.^[3] 34 They did not destroy the peoples as the Lord had commanded them, 35 but they mingled with the nations and adopted their customs. 36 They worshipped their idols, which became a snare to them. 37 They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to false gods. 38 They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was desecrated by their blood. 39 They defiled themselves by what they did; by their deeds they prostituted themselves. 40 Therefore the Lord was angry with his people and abhorred his inheritance. 41 He gave them into the hands of the nations, and their foes ruled over them. 42 Their enemies oppressed them and subjected them to their power. 43 Many times he delivered them, but they were bent on rebellion and they wasted away in their sin. 44 Yet he took note of their distress when he heard their cry; 45 for their sake he remembered his covenant and out of his great love he relented. 46 He caused all who held them captive to show them mercy. 47 Save us, Lord our God, and gather us from the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praise. 48 Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Let all the people say, ‘Amen!’ Praise the Lord.

1 Praise the LORD. Give thanks to the LORD, because he is good. His faithful love continues for ever. 2 Who can speak enough about the mighty acts of the LORD? Who can praise him as much as he should be praised? 3 Blessed are those who always do what is fair. Blessed are those who keep doing what is right. 4 LORD, remember me when you bless your people. Help me when you save them. 5 Then I will enjoy the good things you give your chosen ones. I will be joyful together with your people. I will join them when they praise you. 6 We have sinned, just as our people of long ago did. We too have done what is evil and wrong. 7 When our people were in Egypt, they forgot about the LORD’s miracles. They didn’t remember his many kind acts. At the Red Sea they refused to obey him. 8 But he saved them for the honour of his name. He did it to make his mighty power known. 9 He ordered the Red Sea to dry up, and it did. He led his people through it as if it were a desert. 10 He saved them from the power of their enemies. He set them free from their control. 11 The waters covered their enemies. Not one of them escaped alive. 12 Then his people believed his promises and sang praise to him. 13 But they soon forgot what he had done. They didn’t wait for what he had planned to happen. 14 In the desert they longed for food. In that dry and empty land they tested God. 15 So he gave them what they asked for. But he also sent a disease that killed many of them. 16 In their camp some of them became jealous of Moses and Aaron. Aaron had been set apart to serve the LORD. 17 The ground opened up and swallowed Dathan. It buried Abiram and his followers. 18 Fire blazed among all of them. Flames destroyed those evil people. 19 At Mount Horeb they made a metal statue of a bull calf. They worshipped that statue of a god. 20 They traded their glorious God for a statue of a bull that eats grass. 21 They forgot the God who saved them. They forgot the God who had done great things in Egypt. 22 They forgot the miracles he did in the land of Ham. They forgot the wonderful things he did by the Red Sea. 23 So he said he would destroy them. But Moses, his chosen one, stood up for them. He kept God’s anger from destroying them. 24 Later on, they refused to enter the pleasant land of Canaan. They didn’t believe God’s promise. 25 In their tents they told the LORD how unhappy they were. They didn’t obey him. 26 So he lifted up his hand and promised that he would make them die in the desert. 27 He promised he would scatter their children’s children among the nations. He would make them die in other lands. 28 They joined in worshipping the Baal that was worshipped at Peor. They ate food that had been offered to gods that aren’t even alive. 29 Their evil ways made the LORD angry. So a plague broke out among them. 30 But Phinehas stood up and took action. Then the plague stopped. 31 What Phinehas did made him right with the LORD. It will be remembered for all time to come. 32 By the waters of Meribah the LORD’s people made him angry. Moses got in trouble because of them. 33 They refused to obey the Spirit of God. So Moses spoke without thinking. 34 They didn’t destroy the nations in Canaan as the LORD had commanded them. 35 Instead, they mixed with those nations and adopted their ways. 36 They worshipped statues of their gods. That became a trap for them. 37 They sacrificed their sons and daughters as offerings to false gods. 38 They killed those who weren’t guilty of doing anything wrong. They killed their own sons and daughters. They sacrificed them as offerings to statues of the gods of Canaan. The land became ‘unclean’ because of the blood of their children. 39 The people made themselves impure by what they had done. They weren’t faithful to the LORD. 40 So the LORD became angry with his people. He turned away from his own children. 41 He handed them over to the nations. Their enemies ruled over them. 42 Their enemies treated them badly and kept them under their power. 43 Many times the LORD saved them. But they refused to obey him. So he destroyed them because of their sins. 44 Yet he heard them when they cried out. He paid special attention to their suffering. 45 Because they were his people, he remembered his covenant. Because of his great love, he felt sorry for them. 46 He made all those who held them as prisoners have mercy on them. 47 LORD our God, save us. Bring us back from among the nations. Then we will give thanks to you, because your name is holy. We will celebrate by praising you. 48 Give praise to the LORD, the God of Israel, for ever and ever. Let all the people say, ‘Amen!’ Praise the LORD.

O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. 2 Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his praise? 3 Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times. 4 Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation; 5 That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance. 6 We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. 7 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea. 8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name' sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known. 9 He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness. 10 And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them , and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. 11 And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left. 12 Then believed they his words; they sang his praise. 13 They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel: 14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert. 15 And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul. 16 They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD. 17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram. 18 And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked. 19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image. 20 Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass. 21 They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt; 22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea. 23 Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them . 24 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word: 25 But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD. 26 Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness: 27 To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands. 28 They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead. 29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them. 30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed. 31 And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore. 32 They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes: 33 Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips. 34 They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them: 35 But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works. 36 And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them. 37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils, 38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood. 39 Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions. 40 Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance. 41 And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them. 42 Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand. 43 Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity. 44 Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry: 45 And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies. 46 He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives. 47 Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise. 48 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD.
