Context of Psalms 106:30
28They yoked themselves to Baal of Peor and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods. 29So they provoked the LORD to anger with their deeds, and a plague broke out among them. But Phinehas stood and intervened, and the plague was restrained. 31It was credited to him as righteousness for endless generations to come. 32At the waters of Meribah they angered the LORD, and trouble came to Moses because of them.
