39They defiled themselves by their actions and prostituted themselves by their deeds.
40So the anger of the LORD burned against His people, and He abhorred His own inheritance.
41He delivered them into the hand of the nations, and those who hated them ruled over them.
42Their enemies oppressed them and subdued them under their hand. 43Many times He rescued them, but they were bent on rebellion and sank down in their iniquity.Cross References

| 2 | Nehemiah 9:27–38 | So You delivered them into the hands of enemies who oppressed them, and in their time of distress they cried out to You. From heaven You heard them, and in Your great compassion You gave them deliverers who saved them from the hands of their enemies. But as soon as they had rest, they again did evil in Your sight. So You abandoned them to the hands of their enemies, who had dominion over them. When they cried out to You again, You heard from heaven, and You delivered them many times in Your compassion. You admonished them to turn back to Your law, but they were arrogant and disobeyed Your commandments. They sinned against Your ordinances, by which a man will live if he practices them. They stubbornly shrugged their shoulders; they stiffened their necks and would not obey. You were patient with them for many years, and Your Spirit admonished them through Your prophets. Yet they would not listen, so You gave them into the hands of the neighboring peoples. But in Your great compassion, You did not put an end to them; nor did You forsake them, for You are a gracious and compassionate God. So now, our God, the great and mighty and awesome God who keeps His gracious covenant, do not view lightly all the hardship that has come upon us, and upon our kings and leaders, our priests and prophets, our ancestors and all Your people, from the days of the kings of Assyria until today. You are just in all that has befallen us, because You have acted faithfully, while we have acted wickedly. Our kings and leaders and priests and fathers did not obey Your law or listen to Your commandments and warnings that You gave them. For even while they were in their kingdom, with the abundant goodness that You had given them, and in the spacious and fertile land that You had set before them, they would not serve You or turn from their wicked ways. So here we are today as slaves in the land You gave our fathers to enjoy its fruit and goodness— here we are as slaves! Its abundant harvest goes to the kings You have set over us because of our sins. And they rule over our bodies and our livestock as they please. We are in great distress. In view of all this, we make a binding agreement, putting it in writing and sealing it with the names of our leaders, Levites, and priests.” |

The Ammonites also crossed the Jordan to fight against Judah, Benjamin, and the house of Ephraim, and Israel was in deep distress. Then the Israelites cried out to the LORD, saying, “We have sinned against You, for we have indeed forsaken our God and served the Baals.” The LORD replied, “When the Egyptians, Amorites, Ammonites, Philistines, Sidonians, Amalekites, and Maonites oppressed you and you cried out to Me, did I not save you from their hands? But you have forsaken Me and served other gods, so I will no longer save you. Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen. Let them save you in your time of trouble.” “We have sinned,” the Israelites said to the LORD. “Deal with us as You see fit; but please deliver us today!” So they put away the foreign gods from among them and served the LORD, and He could no longer bear the misery of Israel. Then the Ammonites were called to arms and camped in Gilead, and the Israelites assembled and camped at Mizpah. And the rulers of Gilead said to one another, “Whoever will launch the attack against the Ammonites will be the head of all who live in Gilead.” |

Psalms 106:41 Summary
This verse tells us that when God's people disobeyed Him and turned away from His ways, He allowed other nations to have control over them. This was a result of God's anger and disappointment with His people's sinful actions, as seen in the previous verses. Just like a parent disciplines their child when they disobey, God sometimes allows His people to face difficulties and hardships as a way of correcting and teaching them, as seen in Hebrews 12:5-6. By looking at this verse, we can see the importance of obeying God and following His commands, as stated in Deuteronomy 28:1-2.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did God deliver His people into the hands of their enemies?
According to Psalms 106:40, God's anger burned against His people due to their sinful actions, as seen in Psalms 106:39, and as a result, He allowed them to be ruled by those who hated them, as stated in Psalms 106:41.
What does it mean to be 'delivered into the hand of the nations'?
This phrase means that God allowed other nations to have control and power over His people, similar to what is described in Deuteronomy 28:25, where it says that God's people would be delivered into the hands of their enemies if they disobeyed Him.
Is God still in control when He delivers His people into the hands of their enemies?
Yes, God is always in control, as stated in Psalms 135:6, which says that everything God does is according to His will, and even when He allows other nations to rule over His people, it is still part of His sovereign plan, as seen in Isaiah 46:10.
What can we learn from the fact that 'those who hated them ruled over them'?
This shows that when God's people disobey Him and turn away from His ways, they can expect to face opposition and persecution from those who do not know or love God, as warned in 2 Timothy 3:12.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I may be 'defiling' myself or 'prostituting' my heart to worldly desires, and how can I turn back to God?
- How have I experienced God's discipline or correction in my life, and what did I learn from those experiences?
- In what ways am I currently being 'ruled' by the values or expectations of the world around me, rather than by God's commands and principles?
- What would it look like for me to surrender my life and will to God's control, even when it's difficult or uncomfortable?
Gill's Exposition on Psalms 106:41
And he gave them into the hand of the Heathen,.... In the times of the judges; as into the hands of the Mesopotamians, Moabites, Canaanites, Midianites, and Philistines, to whom they became tributaries; see the book of Judges.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 106:41
They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them: -From the fathers in the wilderness the Psalmist turns to the sons in Canaan.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 106:41
Psalms 106:41 And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.Ver. 41. And he gave them into the hand of the heathen] That they might suffer by them with whom they had sinned, and with whom, by compliance, they hoped to have ingratiated.
Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 106:41
(40-43) Having made review of the sinful past, the poet briefly but impressively describes the punishment which once and again had fallen on the nation. But as his purpose is to make his generation look on the Captivity as a supreme instance of this punishment, and to seek for deliverance by repentance, he mentions only the judgments inflicted by foreign foes.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 106:41
41. the heathen] The nations (R.V.) in contrast to Israel, Jehovah’s people.

And he gave them into the hand of the heathen - That is, of foreign nations.
