Context of Psalms 106:40
38And shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan; and the land was polluted with blood. 39And they were defiled with their works, and went a-whoring in their doings. Then was the anger 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: 42And their enemies 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
