Nevertheless He looked at their distress When He heard their cry;

然而，他听见他们哀告的时候，就眷顾他们的急难，

然而，他听见他们哀告的时候，就眷顾他们的急难，

然而，他听见他们哀告的时候，就眷顾他们的急难，

但祂听见他们在苦难中呼求时，仍然眷顾他们。

可是他听到了他们哀叫的时候，就垂顾他们的苦难。

然而，当他听到他们呼声的时候，就垂顾他们的危难，

然而，他聽見他們哀告的時候，就眷顧他們的急難，

然而，他聽見他們哀告的時候，就眷顧他們的急難，

然而，他聽見他們哀告的時候，就眷顧他們的急難，

但祂聽見他們在苦難中呼求時，仍然眷顧他們。

可是他聽到了他們哀叫的時候，就垂顧他們的苦難。

然而他聽見了他們的喊求時，就看到他們於急難中。

然而，當他聽到他們呼聲的時候，就垂顧他們的危難，

然猶聽其呼籲、恤其患難兮、

民逢禍患、主聞其籲、復加眷顧兮、

斯民急難時、主仍眷顧之、俯聽其哀告、

窮極呼主。主聞其哭。天心實慈。愍其窘蹙。

Yet he took note of their distress when he heard their cry;

Yet he heard them when they cried out. He paid special attention to their suffering.

Nevertheless, he looked upon their distress, when he heard their cry.

Even so, he pitied them in their distress and listened to their cries.

When he heard their cry, he took note of their distress,

Nevertheless He regarded their affliction, When He heard their cry;

Nevertheless he regarded their distress, When he heard their cry:

When He heard their cry, He took note of their distress,

Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:

Yet he took notice of their distress, when he heard their cry for help.

Nevertheless he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry.

But the sons of Israel cried out to the Lord, and the Lord raised up a deliverer for the sons of Israel to set them free, Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.

The sons of Israel cried out to the Lord; for he had nine hundred iron chariots, and he oppressed the sons of Israel severely for twenty years.

And when the Lord raised up judges for them, the Lord was with the judge and saved them from the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the Lord was moved to pity by their groaning because of those who tormented and oppressed them.

So the sons of Israel said to Samuel,“ Do not stop crying out to the Lord our God for us, that He will save us from the hand of the Philistines!”Samuel took a nursing lamb and offered it as a whole burnt offering to the Lord; and Samuel cried out to the Lord for Israel, and the Lord answered him.Now Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, and the Philistines advanced to battle Israel. But the Lord thundered with a great thunder on that day against the Philistines and confused them, so that they were struck down before Israel.And the men of Israel came out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, and killed them as far as below Beth car.Then Samuel took a stone and placed it between Mizpah and Shen, and named it Ebenezer, saying,“ So far the Lord has helped us.”

So Israel was brought very low because of Midian, and the sons of Israel cried out to the Lord.Now it came about, when the sons of Israel cried out to the Lord on account of Midian,that the Lord sent a prophet to the sons of Israel, and he said to them,“ This is what the Lord, the God of Israel says:‘ It was I who brought you up from Egypt, and brought you out of the house of slavery.And I rescued you from the hands of the Egyptians, and from the hands of all your oppressors, and I drove them out from you and gave you their land,and I said to you,“ I am the Lord your God; you shall not fear the gods of the Amorites in whose land you live.” But you have not obeyed Me.’ ”

For the Lord saw the misery of Israel, which was very bitter; for there was neither bond nor free spared, nor was there any helper for Israel.Yet the Lord did not say that He would wipe out the name of Israel from under heaven, but He saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.

Then the sons of Israel cried out to the Lord, saying,“ We have sinned against You, for indeed, we have abandoned our God and served the Baals.”And the Lord said to the sons of Israel,“ Did I not save you from the Egyptians, the Amorites, the sons of Ammon, and the Philistines?And when the Sidonians, the Amalekites, and the Maonites oppressed you, you cried out to Me, and I saved you from their hands.Yet you abandoned Me and served other gods; therefore I will no longer save you.Go and cry out to the gods which you have chosen; let them save you in the time of your distress.”Then the sons of Israel said to the Lord,“ We have sinned, do to us whatever seems good to You; only please save us this day.”So they removed the foreign gods from among them and served the Lord; and He could no longer endure the misery of Israel.

Therefore You handed them over to their enemies who oppressed them, But when they cried out to You in the time of their distress, You heard from heaven, and according to Your great compassion You gave them people who saved them from the hand of their enemies.But as soon as they had rest, they did evil again before You; Therefore You abandoned them to the hand of their enemies, so that they ruled over them. When they cried out again to You, You heard from heaven, And many times You rescued them according to Your compassion,And admonished them in order to turn them back to Your Law. Yet they acted arrogantly and did not listen to Your commandments but sinned against Your ordinances, Which, if a person follows them, then he will live by them. And they turned a stubborn shoulder and stiffened their neck, and would not listen.However, You remained patient with them for many years, And admonished them by Your Spirit through Your prophets, Yet they would not listen. Therefore You handed them over to the peoples of the lands.Nevertheless, in Your great compassion You did not make an end of them or abandon them, For You are a gracious and compassionate God.“ Now then, our God, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who keeps His covenant and faithfulness, Do not let all the hardship seem insignificant before You, Which has happened to us, our kings, our leaders, our priests, our prophets, our fathers, and to all Your people, From the days of the kings of Assyria to this day.However, You are righteous in everything that has happened to us; For You have dealt faithfully, but we have acted wickedly.For our kings, our leaders, our priests, and our fathers have not kept Your Law Or paid attention to Your commandments and Your admonitions with which You have admonished them.But they, in their own kingdom, With Your great goodness which You gave them, With the broad and rich land which You placed before them, Did not serve You or turn from their evil deeds.Behold, we are slaves today, And as for the land which You gave to our fathers to eat its fruit and its bounty, Behold, we are slaves on it.And its abundant produce is for the kings Whom You have set over us because of our sins; They also rule over our bodies And over our cattle as they please, So we are in great distress.“ Now because of all this We are making an agreement in writing; And on the sealed document are the names of our leaders, our Levites, and our priests.”
