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.

43 Many times he delivered them,

but they were rebellious in their purposes

and were brought low through their iniquity.

44 Nevertheless, he looked upon their distress,

when he heard their cry.

45 For their sake he remembered his covenant,

and relented according to the abundance of his steadfast love.

46 He caused them to be pitied

by all those who held them captive.

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.

43 Again and again he rescued them,

but they chose to rebel against him,

and they were finally destroyed by their sin.

44 Even so, he pitied them in their distress

and listened to their cries.

45 He remembered his covenant with them

and relented because of his unfailing love.

46 He even caused their captors

to treat them with kindness.

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

when 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 pitied

by those who held them captive.

43 Many times did he deliver them;

But they were rebellious in their counsel,

And were brought low in their iniquity.

44 Nevertheless he regarded their distress,

When he heard their cry:

45 And he remembered for them his covenant,

And repented according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.

46 He made them also to be pitied

Of all those that carried them captive.

43 Often did he deliver them; but as for them they provoked him by their counsel, and they were brought low by their iniquity. 44 But he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry; 45 And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his loving-kindnesses; 46 And he caused them to find compassion of all those that had carried them captives.

43 He rescued them many times, 

but they continued to plot rebellion against him 

and to sink deeper because of their sin. 

44 He saw that they were suffering 

when he heard their cry for help. 

45 He remembered his promiseto them. 

In keeping with his rich mercy, he changed his plans. 

46 He let them find compassion 

from all those who held them captive. 

43 He rescued them many times,

but they continued to rebel deliberately

and were beaten down by their sin.

44 When He heard their cry,

He took note of their distress,

45 remembered His covenant with them,

and relented according to the riches

of His faithful love.

46 He caused them to be pitied

before all their captors.

43 Many times he delivered them,

but they were rebellious in their purposes,

and were brought low through their iniquity.

44 Nevertheless he regarded their distress

when he heard their cry.

45 For their sake he remembered his covenant,

and showed compassion according to the abundance of his steadfast love.

46 He caused them to be pitied

by all who held them captive.

43 Many times he delivered them,

but they rebelled in their counsel,

and were brought low by their iniquity.

44 Yet he looked upon their distress

when he heard their cry.

45 And he remembered his covenant with them,

and relented based on the abundance of his loyal love.

46 And he let them find compassion

before all their captors.

43 Many times the Lord saved them.

But they refused to obey him.

So he destroyed them because of their sins.

44 But 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

show concern for them.

43 Many times He would deliver them;

They, however, were rebellious in their counsel,

And so sank down in their iniquity.

44 Nevertheless He looked upon their distress

When He heard their cry;

45 And He remembered His covenant for their sake,

And relented according to the greatness of His lovingkindness.

46 He also made them objects of compassion

In the presence of all their captors.
