Context of Psalms 106:41
39They were defiled by their deeds, and unfaithful in their actions. 40So the Lord was angry with his people and despised the people who belong to him. He handed them over to the nations, and those who hated them ruled over them. 42Their enemies oppressed them; they were subject to their authority. 43Many times he delivered them, but they had a rebellious attitude, and degraded themselves by their sin.
