Context of Psalms 106:40
38Their sons and their daughters did not deserve to die, but they killed them as sacrifices for the idols of Canaan. Those murders made the land unclean. 39The things that the Lord's people did made them unclean. They were not faithful to the Lord, like a wife who is not faithful to her husband. So the Lord became angry with his people. They belonged to him but he turned away from them. 41He let other nations have power over them. Their enemies ruled over them. 42Their enemies had power to hurt them, and they were cruel to them.

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.

- 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
