Psalms 106 — Context

And he took them safely out of the hands of their haters, and kept them from the attacks of those who were against them.

And the waters went over their haters; all of them came to an end.

Then they had faith in his words; they gave him songs of praise.

But their memory of his works was short; not waiting to be guided by him,

They gave way to their evil desires in the waste land, and put God to the test in the dry places.

And he gave them their request, but sent a wasting disease into their souls.

They were full of envy against Moses among the tents, and against Aaron, the holy one of the Lord.
