Context of Psalms 106:13
11The waters covered their foes; not one of them remained. 12Then they believed His promises and sang His praise. Yet they soon forgot His works and failed to wait for His counsel. 14They craved intensely in the wilderness and tested God in the desert. 15So He granted their request, but sent a wasting disease upon them.
