“Blessed are they that keep judgment”

Psa 106:34-39 “The idols of Canaan” Part 3-B

Part One (Psa 106:1-11) “Remember me, O LORD, with the favour thy people”
Part Two (Psa 106:12-20) “He gave them their request” Part A
Part Two (Psa 106:21-29) “He gave them their request” Part B
Part Three (Psa 106:30-33) “The idols of Canaan” Part A
Part Three (Psa 106:34-39) “The idols of Canaan” Part B
Part Four (Psa 106:40-48) “He regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry”

Psa 106:34 They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:
Psa 106:35 But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.
Psa 106:36 And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.
Psa 106:37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,
Psa 106:38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
Psa 106:39 Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.

We’ve come to understand through the grace and faith of Christ that we are the “they” being spoken of in all these verses we will look at in this study that speaks of the idolatrous ways of Israel of old.

These type-and-shadow events were caused for our sakes, and they describe what we as the Israel of God must come out of in order to be made ready as the bride of Christ.

Gal 6:16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

2Co 4:15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.

Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

Rev 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

This part of Psalm 106 is a true description of the spiritual bondage which we all must encounter in the churches of Babylon and how it is through judgment upon those idols of Canaan that Christ’s body will come out of the world by the grace of God which works with the gift of faith that He gives us.

1Pe 4:16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
1Pe 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
1Pe 4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
1Pe 4:19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

1Pe 4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

God causes this captivity of our hearts and minds to happen so that in due time we will learn of His mercy described in verse 45:

Psa 106:45 And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.

It is therefore God’s mercy that we look for in each and everyone of our lives knowing that it is in Him alone we can be delivered from the bondage of sin, represented by these idols of Canaan and the captivity that God allowed both Israel and Judah to experience in their time.

Mat 18:22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

Joh 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

In our last study, we discussed how the number seven represents the complete bondage of sin “in that day” that we have seven symbolic women feeding and clothing us with idolatrous words which are fitly framed around our idolatrous hearts, and we must go through a sanctification process of mercy and forgiveness that Christ has called his true bride unto in this age.

Isa 4:1 And in that day seven women shall take hold [captivity] of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.

Lev 14:7 And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the open field.

Joh 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

Mat 21:44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder [cleansed from the leprosy seven times].

These verses in Psalms 106:34-39 describe what it is that we are going to do while in Babylon and how those actions will bring about a bondage and captivity which will bring us to our wits’ end if God is working with us in this age (Mat 22:14). God’s spirit has inspired Psalm 106 to be very centered on the subject of how we all must go into spiritual bondage before we can be dragged ‘out of her my people’ through the storms that God raises about which we will read in Psalm 107, which is the only way that those idols of Canaan described in Psalm 106 can be destroyed.

Joh 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

Rev 15:8 And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.

Psa 107:25 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.
Psa 107:26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.
Psa 107:27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end.
Psa 107:28 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.
Psa 107:29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
Psa 107:30 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

God has called us to receive one another in Christ, and when Christ said to his potential disciples indeed, “if you continue in the truth”, He was speaking to us and was revealing to us, He knew the dragging process toward Him (which is what brings about spiritual circumcision) was entirely dependent on what our Father has written in each of our books (Joh 6:44). We must therefore always be ready to receive one another with a readiness of mind to graft in each member in whom God is working into the body of Christ so that the bride of Christ and temple of God which we are, can go unto maturity in Christ through each joint that supplies.

Rom 15:7 Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.
Rom 15:8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers: (1Jn 4:17, Php 3:3)

Joh 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
Joh 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Act 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind [receive each other with all readiness of mind with that word], and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

Rom 11:18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
Rom 11:19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
Rom 11:20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
Rom 11:21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
Rom 11:23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again. [How? Through the body of Christ if we are ready to receive each other with all readiness of mind with that word].

Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship [“wherefore receive you one another“], created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Eph 2:11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
Eph 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

Eph 4:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working (God’s effectual working – Eph 2:10, Rom 5:5) in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

It is through the judgment which God mercifully administers to us through Christ and His body that we can put off our flesh and see ourselves as a many-membered-yet-one-body of Christ, working out our own salvation with fear and trembling, knowing that it is God who is working this purpose out in each of our lives, both to will and to do of His good pleasure.

1Co 12:12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.

Php 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Php 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Psa 106:34 They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:
Psa 106:35 But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.

God has commanded us to bring every thought into subjection unto Christ, and granted us to do that which the flesh cannot naturally do as we bring into subjection all the nations within us through the power of God’s spirit which empowers us to have “Grace, grace unto it” as described in Zechariah.

Rom 7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
Rom 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

2Co 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
2Co 10:6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

Zec 4:6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
Zec 4:7 Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.

We are “mingled among the heathen” within ourselves, and all the works of the flesh are represented by those heathens of old that Israel could not help but learn of “their works”.

1Jn 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

Rom 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Rom 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

Gal 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh [1Jn 2:16].
Gal 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit [1Jn 2:16], and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
Gal 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Gal 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Gal 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

1Ki 11:1 But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites;
1Ki 11:2 Of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love. [it is this relationship which Solomon had with these women that represents the children or false doctrines that are born out of our initial relationship with Babylon]
1Ki 11:3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.
1Ki 11:4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.

We have to fight a good fight of faith knowing that sin lies at the door of our hearts and that God has purposed it to be this way so that we have no confidence in our corruptible flesh, but understand that we are more than conquerors through Christ alone who gives us victory over those powers and principalities that He is high above.

1Ti 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life [Joh 6:68], whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

Gen 4:7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

Rom 8:36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Rom 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Eph 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Eph 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

Eph 1:20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
Eph 1:21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

Psa 106:36 And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.

When we serve the idols of our hearts which typify the sin in our members, they will snare us for a season, until we become sickened by the bad fruit that living with those idols in our life brings. It is a critical operation to which God has called us through Christ that will witness to the world that we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

2Ch 24:18 And they left the house of the LORD God of their fathers, and served groves and idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass.
2Ch 24:19 Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the LORD; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear.
2Ch 24:20 And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the LORD, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the LORD, he hath also forsaken you.
2Ch 24:21 And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of the LORD.
2Ch 24:22 Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, The LORD look upon it, and require it.

Rom 6:21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death [2Ch 24:22].

Psa 10:13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.
Psa 10:14 Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.
Psa 10:15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.

Rom 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
Rom 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Rom 8:39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Psa 106:37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,

We have learned that our sons and daughters spoken of in this verse are the seed of God or “the good seed are the children of the kingdom” which seed is “The seed is the word of God”.

Mat 13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

Luk 8:11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

Gal 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

We first sacrifice that seed of God’s word “unto devils” both within and without, and corrupt it by making an idol of it as we say “Lord, Lord” but don’t do the things that He asks of us.

Psa 50:17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.

Luk 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

Of course, this all tells us that there is a process that all the world will have to experience before the word, the seed, the children, can be rooted and grounded in Christ, and that process is very carefully explained by Christ in the parable of the wheat and the tares.

Mat 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
Mat 13:25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
Mat 13:26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
Mat 13:27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
Mat 13:28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
Mat 13:29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
Mat 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

Psa 106:38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.

This is more of the same point with that added detail that the “innocent blood”, which is the word of God which is “sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan”, then pollutes our land, our heavens, when we are yet carnal, “oppos[ing] and exalt[ing] [ourselves] above all that is called God”, controlled by envy and lust and jealousy which is exactly what will take place until we are delivered from all such spiritual weakness through Christ.

Joh 6:55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2Th 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

1Co 3:2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
1Co 3:3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
1Co 3:4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
1Co 3:5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?

Jas 3:16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

1Jn 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

1Jn 3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

Our goal as brothers and sister in Christ is to be purified by the word which will be demonstrated by our learning to bear each other’s infirmities and so fulfill the law of Christ for each other.

Eph 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

2Th 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
2Th 2:14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2Th 2:15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

Joh 13:14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.
Joh 13:15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

Rom 15:1 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
Rom 15:2 Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.

Gal 6:2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
Gal 6:3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

The context of Matthew 18 shows us that if we are becoming a mature seed in Christ (the seed being likened unto children which we have discussed), then we will be going to our brother or sister in a spirit of humility and love.

Mat 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven [Mat 5:19].
Mat 18:5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
Mat 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Mat 18:15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
Mat 18:16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
Mat 18:17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.

We also must be careful to remove the beam from our own eye first, before we try to help someone else who is struggling with any particular sin, and so we pray that our Father will continue to grant us the ability to examine ourselves whether we are in the faith or not, and to always remember that love is slow to expose and quick to cover the transgressions of others as we learn to judge righteous judgment by trying the spirits and asking God for discernment.

Jas 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Luk 6:42 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother’s eye.

2Co 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

Joh 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

1Pe 4:8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

1Jn 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. [if we think of this verse primarily within then the spirits which are without and against Christ will become evident].

Psa 106:39 Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.

That inability to examine ourselves first is a sure way to be “defiled with their own works” which we just saw was connected with our sons and daughters who represent the word or the seed of God that is not going forth from our heavens in a manner that is undefiled. That is what it means to go “a whoring with their own inventions”. It takes the judgment of God upon our first dying old man Adam to enable us to rightly divide the word and apply that word in the loving context of obedience unto God which will bring forth the destruction of those idols of Canaan that God has called us to tear down within our own heavens first and foremost.

The goal which God has set before us as members together of the one body of Christ is to protect the manchild within each other by rightly dividing the word and knowing that judgment is upon us to the end that we may have such a deep and profound regard for the work that God is doing in each other that we would never want to divide that manchild in any way. I’ll end this study with this very graphic story that demonstrates how God wants us to cry out for wisdom and understanding so that we can be a discerning people who know how to rightly divide God’s word so that we don’t end up being divided as the body of Christ.

1Ki 3:16 Then came there two women, that were harlots, unto the king, and stood before him.
1Ki 3:17 And the one woman said, O my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house; and I was delivered of a child [the manchild] with her in the house.
1Ki 3:18 And it came to pass the third day after that I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also: and we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house, save we two in the house.
1Ki 3:19 And this woman’s child died in the night; because she overlaid it.
1Ki 3:20 And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thine handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.[remember these children represent doctrines]
1Ki 3:21 And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead: but when I had considered it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, which I did bear.
1Ki 3:22 And the other woman said, Nay; but the living is my son, and the dead is thy son. And this said, No; but the dead is thy son, and the living is my son. Thus they spake before the king.
1Ki 3:23 Then said the king, The one saith, This is my son that liveth, and thy son is the dead: and the other saith, Nay; but thy son is the dead, and my son is the living. [Babylon declares they have the words of life when in fact we have the words of eternal life that Babylon claims as their own]
1Ki 3:24 And the king said, Bring me a sword [the word of God in a mature hand]. And they brought a sword before the king.
1Ki 3:25 And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.
1Ki 3:26 Then spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her bowels yearned upon her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide it.
1Ki 3:27 Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof [Gal 4:26].
1Ki 3:28 And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do judgment.

1Co 1:13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

As Pete said in an earlier study: (http://www.iswasandwillbe.com/kings-of-israel-1-adversaries-of-solomon/):

Next week, Lord willing, we will look at the last part of this Psalm as we go through the remaining eight verses of the study (Psa 106:40-48) entitled “He regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry“, which talks about the deliverance that God has promised to those whom He is going to save.

Psa 106:40Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.
Psa 106:41And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.
Psa 106:42 Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.
Psa 106:43 Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.
Psa 106:44 Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:
Psa 106:45 And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.
