Context of Psalms 106:40

38And shed innocent blood, Even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, Whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with blood. 39Thus were they defiled with their works, And played the harlot in their doings. Therefore was the wrath of Jehovah kindled against his people, And he abhorred his inheritance. 41And he gave them into the hand of the nations; And they that hated them ruled over them. 42Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were brought into subjection under their hand.

Commentaries on Psalms 106:40

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 40Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled - God kindled a fire in his judgments for those who by their flagitious conduct had inflamed themselves with their idols, and the impure rites with which they were worshipped.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 40Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people - Anger is often compared with a fire; as we say now, a man is “inflamed” with passion.

It means that his treatment of his offending people was as if he were burning with wrath against them. Insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance - He was…Read the comment
• 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. One sin led to many more, and brought the judgments of God on them. Their sin was, in part, their own punishment. Sinners often see themselves ruined by those who led them into evil. Satan, who is a tempter, will be a tormentor…Read the comment

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 40-4340-43. Those nations first seduced and then oppressed them (compare Jud 1:34; 2:14; 3:30). Their apostasies ungratefully repaid God's many mercies till He finally abandoned them to punishment (Le 26:39).Read the comment
