Context of Psalms 106:22
20They turned away from their great God. Instead, they worshipped the statue of a cow, an animal that eats grass! 21They forgot the God who had saved them, when he did great miracles in Egypt. He had done powerful things in the land of Ham's descendants, and at the shore of the Red Sea. His people forgot about all that! 23So God said that he would destroy them. But God's servant, Moses, spoke on their behalf. He asked God not to be angry with his people, and God agreed. 24Later, they did not believe God's promise to take them safely into the beautiful land of Canaan.
