Psalms 106:44-46
Nevertheless, he looked upon their distress,
when he heard their cry.
For their sake he remembered his covenant,
and relented according to the abundance of his steadfast love.
He caused them to be pitied
by all those who held them captive.

To understand the above three verses you have to read the first 43. In the first 43 we read everything the nation of Israel did wrong and how they doubted God's promises, spurned His grace and lived in sin. Each of the previous verses gives numerous reasons why God should stop loving them. However, the above verses do not read, "... and as a result God stopped loving the nation." Instead it reads that God did love them and will never stop loving them. This is the amazing covenant of God. He is abundant in mercy and grace. He is never ending in love. He provides protection for them. God is an amazing God. He hears our cries. He looks at us with pity and with mercy and with grace.
