Context of Psalms 106:12
10He rescued them from the people who hated them. He saved them from their enemy's power. 11The water of the sea drowned their enemies, so that none of them remained alive. Then God's people believed his promises. They sang songs to praise him. 13But they soon forgot what the Lord had done to help them. They did not wait for him to tell them what to do. 14In the wilderness they wanted better food. They tested God to see what he would do.
