41. He handed them over to the nations,and their adversaries ruled over them.
42. Their enemies oppressed them,kept them under subjection.
43. Many times did he rescue them,but they kept rebelling and schemingand were brought low by their own guilt.
44. Still God had regard for their afflictionwhen he heard their wailing.
45. For their sake he remembered his covenantand relented in his abundant mercy,
46. Winning for them compassionfrom all who held them captive.
47. Save us, Lord, our God;gather us from among the nationsThat we may give thanks to your holy nameand glory in praising you.
48. Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,from everlasting to everlasting!Let all the people say, Amen!Hallelujah!
