Contextual Overview

³⁴They didn't wipe out those godless cultures as ordered by God ; Instead they intermarried with the heathen, and in time became just like them. They worshiped their idols, were caught in the trap of idols. They sacrificed their sons and daughters at the altars of demon gods. They slit the throats of their babies, murdered their infant girls and boys. They offered their babies to Canaan's gods; the blood of their babies stained the land. Their way of life stank to high heaven; they lived like whores. ⁴⁰And God was furious—a wildfire anger; he couldn't stand even to look at his people. He turned them over to the heathen so that the people who hated them ruled them. Their enemies made life hard for them; they were tyrannized under that rule. Over and over God rescued them, but they never learned— until finally their sins destroyed them. ⁴⁴Still, when God saw the trouble they were in and heard their cries for help, He remembered his Covenant with them, and, immense with love, took them by the hand. He poured out his mercy on them while their captors looked on, amazed. ⁴⁷ Save us, God , our God! Gather us back out of exile So we can give thanks to your holy name and join in the glory when you are praised! ⁴⁸ Blessed be God , Israel's God! Bless now, bless always! Oh! Let everyone say Amen! Hallelujah!

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Many times did he deliver them,.... By means of the judges, Othniel, Ehud, Barak, Gideon, Jephthah, Samson, and others.

But they provoked him with their counsel; in asking a king, whom he gave in his anger, and took away in his wrath, Hosea 13:11, and with their idolatries which they devised, setting up the calves at Dan and Bethel; and by taking counsel of others, and not of the Lord; seeking for help from the Assyrians and Egyptians, and trusting in them,

Isaiah 30:1, all which was very provoking, and showed great ingratitude, after so many deliverances: or, "though they provoked him with their counsels" b; with their inventions, as in Psalms 106:29, yet such were his grace and goodness, that he frequently wrought salvation for them.

And were brought low for their iniquity: or "when they were weakened", or "impoverished by their iniquity" c so that they could not help themselves; as they were particularly by the Midianites, Judges 6:1. Unless this should rather refer to some later times, as the times of Ahaz, when Judah was brought low for their transgressions, 2 Chronicles 28:19 as also the time of the Babylonish captivity. Sin is of a weakening and impoverishing nature; it has weakened all mankind, and took from them their moral strength to do good; and has brought them to poverty and want; to be beggars an the dunghill; to a pit wherein is no water; and left them in a hopeless and helpless condition: yea, it brings the people of God oftentimes after conversion into a low estate, when God hides his face because of it; temptations are strong, grace is weak, and they become lukewarm and indifferent to spiritual things.

b וחמה "quamvis ipsi", Junius Tremellius, Piscator. c וימכו "et attenuati essent", Junius Tremellius, Piscator so Cocceius, Michaellis, Gejerus "et in paupertatem devenerunt per suam iniquitatem", Tigurine version.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Many times did he deliver them - From danger of invasion; from foreign arms; from entire overthrow. Numerous instances of this are recorded in the history of the Hebrew people.

But they provoked him with their counsel - This does not mean that they gave counsel or advice to God; but it refers to the counsel which they took among themselves; the plans which they formed. These were such as to offend God.

And were brought low for their iniquity - Margin, “impoverished or weakened.” The Hebrew word means to melt away, to pine; and hence, to decay, to be brought low. See Job 24:24, where it is rendered “brought low,” and Ecclesiastes 10:18, where it is rendered “decayeth.” The word does not occur elsewhere. The meaning is, that they were weakened; their national strength was exhausted as a punishment for their sins.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 106:43. Many times did he deliver them — See the Book of Judges; it is a history of the rebellions and deliverances of the Israelites.
