Psalm 106:40-48

Good News Translation

^40 (A)So the Lord was angry with his people;
    he was disgusted with them.
⁴¹ He abandoned them to the power of the heathen,
    and their enemies ruled over them.
⁴² They were oppressed by their enemies
    and were in complete subjection to them.
⁴³ Many times the Lord rescued his people,
    but they chose to rebel against him
    and sank deeper into sin.
⁴⁴ Yet the Lord heard them when they cried out,
    and he took notice of their distress.
⁴⁵ For their sake he remembered his covenant,
    and because of his great love he relented.
⁴⁶ He made all their oppressors
    feel sorry for them.

^47 (B)Save us, O Lord our God,
    and bring us back from among the nations,
so that we may be thankful
    and praise your holy name.

⁴⁸ Praise the Lord, the God of Israel;
    praise him now and forever!
    Let everyone say, “Amen!”

Praise the Lord!
