40 Against his people kindled wasthe wrath of God therefore,Insomuch that he did his owninheritance abhor.
41 He gave them to the heathen's hand;their foes did them command.
42 Their en'mies them oppress'd, they weremade subject to their hand.
43 He many times deliver'd them;but with their counsel soThey him provok'd, that for their sinthey were brought very low.
44 Yet their affliction he beheld,when he did hear their cry:
45 And he for them his covenantdid call to memory;After his mercies' multitude
46 he did repent: And madeThem to be pity'd of all thosewho did them captive lead.
