Context of Psalms 106:40
38They shed innocent blood—the blood of their sons and their daughters, sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. So the land was desecrated with blood. 39So they defiled themselves by their deeds, and prostituted themselves by their practices. Therefore the anger of Adonai was kindled against His people, and He abhorred His inheritance. 41He handed them to the nations— those who hated them ruled over them. 42Their enemies oppressed them, so they were subdued under their hand.

Commentaries on Psalms 106:40
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 40Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled - God kindled a fire in his judgments for those who by their flagitious conduct had inflamed themselves with their idols, and the impure rites with which they were worshipped.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 40Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people - Anger is often compared with a fire; as we say now, a man is “inflamed” with passion.

One sin led to many more, and brought the judgments of God on them. Their sin was, in part, their own punishment. Sinners often see themselves ruined by those who led them into evil. Satan, who is a tempter, will be a tormentor…Read the comment
