Context of Psalms 106:31
29The Lord became angry because of what his people did. He sent a bad disease among them. 30Then Phinehas punished the guilty people, so that the disease stopped killing people. So we remember that Phinehas was a righteous man, and that will be true for ever. 32At Meribah springs, the Israelites made God angry. What they did there caused Moses to have trouble. 33Moses was so upset that he spoke in a careless way.

Commentaries on Psalms 106:31
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 31And that was counted unto him for righteousness - See Numbers 25:11-13. Compare the notes at Romans 4:3. The meaning here is, that this was regarded as a “proof” or “demonstration” that he was a righteous man - a man fearing God.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 13-33Verses 13-33 Those that will not wait for God's counsel, shall justly be given up to their own hearts' lusts, to walk in their own counsels. 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. Many that fare deliciously every day, and whose bodies are healthful, have leanness in their souls: no love to God, no thankfulness, no…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 30-33Phinehas killed an Israelite man who openly turned away from the Lord (Numbers 25:3–8). Because his action stopped the plague, the psalm credits him with righteousness. In this psalm he is presented as a stronger example of zeal for the Lord than Moses, who failed at Meribah (Numbers 20:11–13).Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 3131. counted ... righteousness--"a just and rewardable action." for--or, "unto," to the procuring of righteousness, as in Ro 4:2; 10:4.

But it was that which God approved and rewarded with a perpetual priesthood to him and his…Read the comment
