43. The Lord saved his people many times.But they continued to turn against him.So they became even more wicked.
44. But God saw their misery.He heard their cry.
45. He remembered his agreement with them.And he felt sorry for them because of his great love.
46. He caused them to be pitiedby those who held them captive.
47. Lord our God, save us.Bring us back from other nations.Then we will thank you.Then we will gladly praise you.
48. Praise the Lord, the God of Israel.He always was and always will be.Let all the people say, “Amen!”Praise the Lord!
