Context of Psalms 106:42

40So 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. Their 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. 44But the Lord still saw when they were in trouble. He answered them when they called to him for help.

Satan, who is a tempter, will be a tormentor…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 40-46The psalmist again talks about the Babylonian exile (Psalm 106:26–27). The Lord judged Israel harshly, but he also restrained his anger, remembering the covenant he had made with Abraham.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 40-4340-43. Those nations first seduced and then oppressed them (compare Jud 1:34; 2:14; 3:30). Their apostasies ungratefully repaid God's many mercies till He finally abandoned them to punishment (Le 26:39).Read the comment
