Context of Psalms 106:41
39In this way they became unclean in their practices; They played the prostitute in their own deeds [by giving their worship, which belongs to God alone, to other “gods”]. 40Therefore the anger of the Lord was kindled against His people And He detested His own inheritance. He gave them into the hands of the nations, And those who hated them ruled over them. 42Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were subdued under the [powerful] hand of their enemies. 43Many times He rescued them; But they were rebellious in their counsel, And sank down in their wickedness.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 34-48Verses 34-48 The conduct of the Israelites in Canaan, and God's dealings with them, show that the way of sin is down-hill; omissions make way for commissions: when they neglected to destroy the heathen, they learned their works.
