Context of Psalms 106:43
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. Many 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. 45He remembered the covenant that he had made with them. Because of his faithful love for his people, he stopped punishing them.
