Psalms 106:24-33

24Then they despised the pleasant land; they did not believe his promise.

25They grumbled in their tents and did not obey the Lord.

26So he swore to them with uplifted hand that he would make them fall in the wilderness,

27make their descendants fall among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands.

28They yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods;

29they aroused the Lord’s anger by their wicked deeds, and a plague broke out among them.

30But Phinehas stood up and intervened, and the plague was checked.

31This was credited to him as righteousness for endless generations to come.

32By the waters of Meribah they angered the Lord, and trouble came to Moses because of them;

33for they rebelled against the Spirit of God, and rash words came from Moses’ lips.
