Context of Psalms 106:41

39Thus they were defiled by their own works, And played the harlot by their own deeds. 40Therefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against His people, So that He abhorred His own inheritance. And He gave them into the hand of the Gentiles, And those who hated them ruled over them. 42Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were brought into subjection under their hand. 43Many times He delivered them; But they rebelled in their counsel, And were brought low for their iniquity.

Commentaries on Psalms 106:41

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 41And he gave them into the hand of the heathen - That is, of foreign nations. 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.
