Context of Psalms 106:41
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. 40So the Lord became angry with his people. They belonged to him but he turned away from them. He 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. 43Many times, the Lord rescued his people, but they had decided not to obey him. Their sins made them weaker and weaker.

They were indeed “pagans,” in the sense in which that term is used now - that is, they were ignorant of the true God, and worshipped idols; but that idea is not necessarily in the original word. The word “Gentiles” expresses all that the word implies. And they that hated them ruled over them - Had them in subjection.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.
