Read in context

Psalms 106:21–25 · Berean Standard Bible

21 They forgot God their Savior, who did great things in Egypt,

22 wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.

23 So He said He would destroy them— had not Moses His chosen one stood before Him in the breach to divert His wrath from destroying them.

24 They despised the pleasant land; they did not believe His promise.

25 They grumbled in their tents and did not listen to the voice of the LORD.
