Context of Psalms 106:41
39They defiled themselves by what they did; by their deeds they prostituted themselves. 40Therefore the Lord was angry with his people and abhorred his inheritance. He gave them into the hands of the nations, and their foes ruled over them. 42Their enemies oppressed them and subjected them to their power. 43Many times he delivered them, but they were bent on rebellion and they wasted away in their sin.
