Context of Psalms 106:25
23Therefore He said that He would destroy them, Had not Moses His chosen one stood before Him in the breach, To turn away His wrath, lest He destroy them. 24Then they despised the pleasant land; They did not believe His word, But complained in their tents, And did not heed the voice of the Lord. 26Therefore He raised His hand in an oath against them, To overthrow them in the wilderness, 27To overthrow their descendants among the nations, And to scatter them in the lands.
