Context of Psalms 106:34
32They provoked Him to anger at the waters of Meribah, So that it went hard with Moses on their account; 33Because they were rebellious against His Spirit, Moses spoke recklessly with his lips. They did not destroy the [pagan] peoples [in Canaan], As the Lord commanded them, 35But they mingled with the [idolatrous] nations And learned their ways, 36And served their idols, Which became a [dreadful] snare to them.
