Context of Psalms 106:44
42Their enemies oppressed them, so they were subdued under their hand. 43Many times He delivered them, but they kept rebelling deliberately, and so sank low into their iniquity. Yet He saw their distress, when He heard their cry, 45remembered His covenant to them, and relented in the greatness of His mercy. 46He caused them to be pitied in the presence of all their captors.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 34-48Verses 34-48 The conduct of the Israelites in Canaan, and God's dealings with them, show that the way of sin is down-hill; omissions make way for commissions: when they neglected to destroy the heathen, they learned their works.
