Context of Psalms 106:14
12Then believed they his words; They sang his praise. 13They soon forgat his works; They waited not for his counsel, But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert. 15And he gave them their request, But sent leanness into their soul. 16They envied Moses also in the camp, AndAaron the saint of Jehovah.

Many that fare deliciously every day, and whose bodies are healthful, have leanness in their souls: no love to God, no thankfulness, no…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-48The Israelite community in exile confessed the Lord’s goodness and justice and their own past sins.

The faith induced by God's display of power in their behalf was short lived, and their new rebellion and temptation was visited by God with fresh punishment, inflicted by leaving them to the result of their own gratified appetites, and sending on them spiritual poverty (Nu 11:18).
