## Psalms 106:13-23 in Context (Verses 10–26 KJV)
 
 [10 ](/kjv/psalms/106/10) And he saved them from the hand of him that hated *them*, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/psalms/106/11) And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/psalms/106/12) Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/psalms/106/13) They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:*
 
 [14 ](/kjv/psalms/106/14) But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.*
 
 [15 ](/kjv/psalms/106/15) And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/psalms/106/16) They envied Moses also in the camp, *and* Aaron the saint of the LORD.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/psalms/106/17) The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/psalms/106/18) And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/psalms/106/19) They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/psalms/106/20) Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/psalms/106/21) They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;
 
 [22 ](/kjv/psalms/106/22) Wondrous works in the land of Ham, *and* terrible things by the Red sea.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/psalms/106/23) Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy *them*.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/psalms/106/24) Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:*
 
 [25 ](/kjv/psalms/106/25) But murmured in their tents, *and* hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/psalms/106/26) Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:*
