41 he (A)gave them into the hand of the nations,
    so that those who hated them ruled over them.
42 Their enemies (B)oppressed them,
    and they were brought into subjection under their power.
43 (C)Many times he delivered them,
    but they were rebellious in their (D)purposes
    and were (E)brought low through their iniquity.

44 Nevertheless, he looked upon their distress,
    when he (F)heard their cry.
45 For their sake he (G)remembered his covenant,
    and (H)relented according to (I)the abundance of his steadfast love.
46 He caused them to be (J)pitied
    by all those who held them captive.

47 (K)Save us, O Lord our God,
    and (L)gather us from among the nations,
that we may give thanks to your holy name
    and glory in your praise.
