Context of Psalms 106:12
10He delivered them from the power of the one who hated them, and rescued them from the power of the enemy. 11The water covered their enemies; not even one of them survived. They believed his promises; they sang praises to him. 13They quickly forgot what he had done; they did not wait for his instructions. 14In the wilderness they had an insatiable craving for meat; they challenged God in the desert.
