Context of Psalms 106:33
31So 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. Moses was so upset that he spoke in a careless way. 34The Lord commanded his people to destroy the nations of Canaan, But they did not obey the Lord's command. 35Instead, they mixed with those nations and they learned their way of life.

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.
