Psalms 106:14
Compare all
12 aThen they believed His words;
They sang His praise. 
13 aThey soon forgot His works;
They did not wait for His counsel, 
14 aBut lusted exceedingly in the wilderness,
And tested God in the desert. 
15 aAnd He gave them their request,
But bsent leanness into their soul. 
16 When athey envied Moses in the camp,
And Aaron the saint of the Lord, 
17 aThe earth opened up and swallowed Dathan,
And covered the faction of Abiram. 
18 aA fire was kindled in their company;
The flame burned up the wicked. 
19 aThey made a calf in Horeb,
And worshiped the molded image. 
20 Thus athey changed their glory
Into the image of an ox that eats grass. 
21 They forgot God their Savior,
Who had done great things in Egypt,
22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham,
Awesome things by the Red Sea.
23 aTherefore He said that He would destroy them,
Had not Moses His chosen one bstood before Him in the breach,
To turn away His wrath, lest He destroy them.

Psalms 106:14

Literally, "lusted a lust" (quoted from Numbers 11:4, Margin). Previously, there had been impatience as to necessaries of life; here it is lusting (Psalms 78:18).



Psalms 106:13-15

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 (Numbers 11:18).

They soon forgat—literally, "They hasted, they forgat" (compare Exodus 32:8). "They have turned aside quickly (or, hastily) out of the way." The haste of our desires is such that we can scarcely allow God one day. Unless He immediately answers our call, instantly then arise impatience, and at length despair.

his works— (Deuteronomy 11:3-4; Daniel 9:14).

his counsel—They waited not for the development of God's counsel, or plan for their deliverance, at His own time, and in His own way.
