Context of Psalms 106:41
39They defiled themselves by their actions and prostituted themselves by their deeds. 40Therefore the Lord’s anger burned against his people, and he abhorred his own inheritance. He handed them over to the nations; those who hated them ruled over them. 42Their enemies oppressed them, and they were subdued under their power. 43He rescued them many times, but they continued to rebel deliberately and were beaten down by their iniquity.
