Nevertheless, he looked upon 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.

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 looked at their distress When He heard their cry;

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 when the people of Israel cried out to the Lord, the Lord raised up a deliverer for the people of Israel, who saved them, Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.

Then the people of Israel cried out to the Lord for help, for he had 900 chariots of iron and he oppressed the people of Israel cruelly for twenty years.

Whenever the Lord raised up judges for them, the Lord was with the judge, and he 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 afflicted and oppressed them.

And the people of Israel said to Samuel,“ Do not cease to cry out to the Lord our God for us, that he may save us from the hand of the Philistines.”So 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.As Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to attack Israel. But the Lord thundered with a mighty sound that day against the Philistines and threw them into confusion, and they were defeated before Israel.And the men of Israel went out from Mizpah and pursued the Philistines and struck them, as far as below Beth-car.Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen and called its name Ebenezer; for he said,“ Till now the Lord has helped us.”

And Israel was brought very low because of Midian. And the people of Israel cried out for help to the Lord.When the people of Israel cried out to the Lord on account of the Midianites,the Lord sent a prophet to the people of Israel. And he said to them,“ Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: I led you up from Egypt and brought you out of the house of slavery.And I delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians and from the hand of all who oppressed you, and drove them out before 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 dwell.’ But you have not obeyed my voice.”

For the Lord saw that the affliction of Israel was very bitter, for there was none left, bond or free, and there was none to help Israel.But the Lord had not said that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven, so he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.

And the people of Israel cried out to the Lord, saying,“ We have sinned against you, because we have forsaken our God and have served the Baals.”And the Lord said to the people of Israel,“ Did I not save you from the Egyptians and from the Amorites, from the Ammonites and from the Philistines?The Sidonians also, and the Amalekites and the Maonites oppressed you, and you cried out to me, and I saved you out of their hand.Yet you have forsaken me and served other gods; therefore I will save you no more.Go and cry out to the gods whom you have chosen; let them save you in the time of your distress.”And the people of Israel said to the Lord,“ We have sinned; do to us whatever seems good to you. Only please deliver us this day.”So they put away the foreign gods from among them and served the Lord, and he became impatient over the misery of Israel.

Therefore you gave them into the hand of their enemies, who made them suffer. And in the time of their suffering they cried out to you and you heard them from heaven, and according to your great mercies you gave them saviors who saved them from the hand of their enemies.But after they had rest they did evil again before you, and you abandoned them to the hand of their enemies, so that they had dominion over them. Yet when they turned and cried to you, you heard from heaven, and many times you delivered them according to your mercies.And you warned them in order to turn them back to your law. Yet they acted presumptuously and did not obey your commandments, but sinned against your rules, which if a person does them, he shall live by them, and they turned a stubborn shoulder and stiffened their neck and would not obey.Many years you bore with them and warned them by your Spirit through your prophets. Yet they would not give ear. Therefore you gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.Nevertheless, in your great mercies you did not make an end of them or forsake them, for you are a gracious and merciful God.“ Now, therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who keeps covenant and steadfast love, let not all the hardship seem little to you that has come upon us, upon our kings, our princes, our priests, our prophets, our fathers, and all your people, since the time of the kings of Assyria until this day.Yet you have been righteous in all that has come upon us, for you have dealt faithfully and we have acted wickedly.Our kings, our princes, our priests, and our fathers have not kept your law or paid attention to your commandments and your warnings that you gave them.Even in their own kingdom, and amid your great goodness that you gave them, and in the large and rich land that you set before them, they did not serve you or turn from their wicked works.Behold, we are slaves this day; in the land that you gave to our fathers to enjoy its fruit and its good gifts, behold, we are slaves.And its rich yield goes to the kings whom you have set over us because of our sins. They rule over our bodies and over our livestock as they please, and we are in great distress.“ Because of all this we make a firm covenant in writing; on the sealed document are the names of our princes, our Levites, and our priests.
