Context of Psalms 106:14
12Then they believed His words; They sang His praise. 13They quickly forgot His works; They did not wait for His counsel, But craved intensely in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert. 15So He gave them their request, But sent a wasting disease among them. 16When they became envious of Moses in the camp, And of Aaron, the holy one of the Lord,

Commentaries on Psalms 106:14
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 14But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness - Margin, as in Hebrew, “lusted a lust.” The reference is to their desire of better food than the manna. And tempted God in the desert - Tried God, whether he “could” provide for them food and drink. Psalm 78:19-20.Read the comment
- 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. 1-48The Israelite community in exile confessed the Lord’s goodness and justice and their own past sins. From their humble state in exile, they asked for redemption and restoration. They hoped to be gathered back from all the places the Lord had scattered them in his anger. The psalm ends with a memory of the Lord’s past mercy and hope for renewed mercy (Psalm 106:44–48). Israel failed, but the Lord remains constant. Verses 1, 47–48 (along with Psalms 96…Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 13-1513-15. The faith induced by God's display of power in their behalf was short lived, and their new rebellion and temptation was visited by God with fresh punishment, inflicted by leaving them to the result of their own gratified appetites, and sending on them spiritual poverty (Nu 11:18). 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
