LOVE Psalm 106:43-45

Many times he delivered them
Nehemiah 9:28 "But as soon as they were at rest, they again did what was evil in your sight. Then you abandoned them to the hand of their enemies so that they ruled over them. And when they cried out to you again, you heard from heaven, and in your compassion you delivered them time after time."

But when the judge died, the people returned to ways even more corrupt than those of their ancestors, following other gods and serving and worshiping them. They refused to give up their evil practices and stubborn ways.
Judges 6:1 (read verses 1-7) The Israelites did evil in the eyes of the LORD, and for seven years he gave them into the hands of the Midianites.

Luke 1:72 ". . . to show mercy to our ancestors and to remember his holy covenant, . . ."

and out of his great love
Psalm 17:7 Show me the wonders of your great love, you who save by your right hand those who take refuge in you from their foes.
Psalm 103:11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; . . .
