JFB: Psa 106:44-46 - -- If, as is probable, this Psalm was written at the time of the captivity, the writer now intimates the tokens of God's returning favor.

If, as is probable, this Psalm was written at the time of the captivity, the writer now intimates the tokens of God's returning favor.

JFB: Psa 106:46 - -- (1Ki 8:50; Dan 1:9). These tokens encourage the prayer and the promise of praise (Psa 30:4), which is well closed by a doxology.

(1Ki 8:50; Dan 1:9). These tokens encourage the prayer and the promise of praise (Psa 30:4), which is well closed by a doxology.

He made them also to be pitied - This was particularly true as to the Babylonish captivity; for Cyrus gave them their liberty; Darius favored them, and granted them several privileges; and Artaxerxes sent back Nehemiah, and helped him to rebuild Jerusalem and the temple. See the Books of Ezra and Nehemiah; and see Calmet.

Calvin: Psa 106:46 - -- 46.And he made them to find pity As he had above said, that the Jews had been delivered into the hands of their enemies, because God’s anger was, a...

46.And he made them to find pity As he had above said, that the Jews had been delivered into the hands of their enemies, because God’s anger was, as it were, arms to their adversaries to subdue them; so now he says, that the same God had softened the hearts of these very enemies, who, by terrible means, and with great cruelty, had executed his vengeance upon them. As, then, the hearts of all men are entirely under God’s control, to harden or to soften them according to his sovereign pleasure, so, while his anger was kindled against his people, their enemies were at the same time also inflamed with implacable resentment towards them. But the moment his anger was appeased, the fire which issued from the furnace of his judgment was extinguished, and the cruelty of their enemies was changed into mercy. And that enemies, cruel and barbarous, should begin to love and pity those whom they formerly hated, was a change so astonishing as to be incredible, had they not, in the kind providence of God, from wolves been transformed into lambs.

He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives - That is, he exercised such control over the minds of the pagan that they were willing to show them mercy and to release them. It was not by any native tenderness on the part of the pagan; it was not because they were disposed of themselves to show them any favor; it was not because they had any "natural"relentings on the subject; but it was because God had access to their hearts, and "inclined"them to show compassion for their suffering prisoners. This is a remarkable instance of the power of God over even the hardened minds and hearts of pagan men; and it shows that he holds this power, and can exercise it when he pleases. If he could excite in their hard hearts feelings of compassion toward his own people in bondage, what should prevent his having such access to the hearts of the pagan now as to lead them to repentance toward himself? On the exercise of this power the salvation of the pagan world - as of all sinners - must depend; and for the putting forth of this power we should most fervently pray. The "literal"rendering of this verse would be, "And he gave them to compassions before all those that made them captive."That is, he inclined them to show favor or compassion. Compare Dan 1:9; 1Ki 8:50.

He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives. He not only pitied them himself, but caused them to be pitied by others, even by their enemies; he has the hearts of all men in his hands, and can turn them as he pleases; as he sometimes turned their hearts to hate his people, Psa 105:25, so he turned them to pity them, as he promised he would when they turned to him, 2Ch 30:9, so he did, by stirring up Cyrus to proclaim liberty to them, and his successors to encourage and assist in rebuilding their city and temple.
