Verse 42. - Their enemies also oppressed them (see Judges 4:3; Judges 10:8; 1 Samuel 9:16; etc.). And they were brought into subjection under their hand. (For pictures of the "subjection," see Judges 4:6-11; 1 Samuel 13:19, 20.) Psalm 106:42 is a sober reminder that when God’s people abandon Him, He may permit tangible enemies to rise, apply oppressive weight, achieve full domination, and maintain control until repentance occurs. The verse documents Israel’s history to warn every generation: covenant disobedience invites real-world subjugation, but the Lord’s ultimate purpose is always redemptive—He waits to lift the hand of the oppressor the moment His people turn back to Him.
