Context of Psalms 106:13
11The water of the sea drowned their enemies, so that none of them remained alive. 12Then God's people believed his promises. They sang songs to praise him. But 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. 15He gave them the food that they asked for, but he also sent a bad disease on them.

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.

They soon forgat--literally, "They hasted, they forgat" (compare Ex 32:8). "They have turned aside quickly (or, hastily) out of the way." The haste of our desires is such…Read the comment
