Psalm 105:40 Douay-Rheims

And the Lord was exceedingly angry with his people: and he abhorred his inheritance.

Augustine of Hippo

A.D. 354–430 Patristic

"Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against His own people" [Psalm 106:40]. Our translators have been unwilling to use the word anger, for the Greek θυμὸς; though some have used it; while others translate by "indignation" or "mind." Whichever of these terms be adopted, passion does not affect God; but the power of punishing has assumed this name metaphorically from custom.
