and relented66 because of his great loyal love.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Many times he delivered them,

but they were rebellious in their purposes

and were brought low through their iniquity.

Nevertheless, he looked upon their distress,

when he heard their cry.

For their sake he remembered his covenant,

and relented according to the abundance of his steadfast love.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

but they were bent on rebellion

and they wasted away in their sin.

Yet he took note of their distress

when he heard their cry;

for their sake he remembered his covenant

and out of his great love he relented.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

He rescued them many times,

but they continued to rebel deliberately

and were beaten down by their iniquity.

When he heard their cry,

he took note of their distress,

remembered his covenant with them,

and relented according to the abundance

of his faithful love.

NLTNew Living Translation

Again and again he rescued them,

but they chose to rebel against him,

and they were finally destroyed by their sin.

Even so, he pitied them in their distress

and listened to their cries.

He remembered his covenant with them

and relented because of his unfailing love.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Many times he delivered them,

and were brought low by their iniquity.

Yet he looked upon their distress

And he remembered his covenant with them,

and relented based on the abundance of his loyal love.

KJV 1900King James Version

Many times did he deliver them;

But they provoked him with their counsel,

And were brought low for their iniquity.

Nevertheless he regarded their affliction,

When he heard their cry:

And he remembered for them his covenant,

And repented according to the multitude of his mercies.
