Psalms 106:34-45

Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

34They did not destroy the peoples,

As the Lord had commanded them,

35But they got involved with the nations

And learned their practices,

36And served their idols,

Which became a snare to them.

37They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons,

38And shed innocent blood,

The blood of their sons and their daughters

Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan;

And the land was defiled with the blood.

39So they became unclean in their practices,

And were unfaithful in their deeds.

40Therefore the anger of the Lord was kindled against His people,

And He loathed His inheritance.

41So He handed them over to the nations,

And those who hated them ruled over them.

42Their enemies also oppressed them,

And they were subdued under their power.

43Many times He would rescue them;

They, however, were rebellious in their plan,

And they sank down into their guilt.

44Nevertheless He looked at their distress

When He heard their cry;

45And He remembered His covenant for their sake,

And relented according to the greatness of His mercy.
