Psalms 106:41 Meaning and Commentary

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.

And they that hated them ruled over them;
as it was threatened and foretold they should, in case they did not observe the law of God, ( Leviticus 26:17 ) .
