Context of Psalms 106:33

See the notes on Numbers 20:10-12; (note).Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 33Because they provoked his spirit - literally, “They made his spirit bitter,” or they embittered his soul.

See Numbers 20:10. So that he spake unadvisedly with his lips - Passionately; in a severe, harsh, and threatening manner. He did not bear with them as he…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 13-33Verses 13-33 Those that will not wait for God's counsel, shall justly be given up to their own hearts' lusts, to walk in their own counsels. An undue desire, even for lawful things, becomes sinful. God showed his displeasure for this. He filled them with uneasiness of mind, terror of conscience, and self-reproach. 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
