Context of Psalms 106:13
11And the waters covered their adversaries; Not one of them was left. 12Then Israel believed in [the validity of] His words; They sang His praise. But they quickly forgot His works; They did not [patiently] wait for His counsel and purpose [to be revealed regarding them], 14But lusted intensely in the wilderness And tempted God [with their insistent desires] in the desert. 15So He gave them their request, But sent a wasting disease among them.
