Psalms 106:42
40 So the anger of the LORD burned against His people, and He abhorred His own inheritance.
41 He delivered them into the hand of the nations, and those who hated them ruled over them.
Their enemies oppressed them, and subdued them under their hand.
43 Many times He rescued them, but they were bent on rebellion and sank down in their iniquity.
44 Nevertheless He heard their cry; He took note of their distress.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
