So You delivered them into the hands of enemies who oppressed them, and in their time of distress they cried out to You. From heaven You heard them, and in Your great compassion You gave them deliverers who saved them from the hands of their enemies.

These words come from the long prayer the Levites lead on behalf of the returned exiles, retelling Israel's history as a pattern of rebellion and rescue. Speaking to God, they recall the period of the judges: when the people were oppressed by enemies, they cried out, and God heard from heaven and raised up deliverers, the judges, to save them.
