Context of Psalms 106:40
38They shed innocent blood — the blood of their sons and daughters whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; so the land became polluted with blood. 39They defiled themselves by their actions and prostituted themselves by their deeds. Therefore the Lord’s anger burned against his people, and he abhorred his own inheritance. 41He handed them over to the nations; those who hated them ruled over them. 42Their enemies oppressed them, and they were subdued under their power.

- 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. See Esther 1:12; Lamentations 2:3; Psalm 79:5; Psalm 89:46; Jeremiah 4:4; Judges 2:14. Of course, this must be taken in a manner appropriate to God.

Satan, who is a tempter, will be a tormentor…Read the comment
