Psalm 106:32-39
By the waters of Meribah the Lord’s people made him angry.
Moses got in trouble because of them.
They refused to obey the Spirit of God.
So Moses spoke without thinking.
They didn’t destroy the nations in Canaan
as the Lord had commanded them.
Instead, they mixed with those nations
and adopted their ways.
They worshiped statues of their gods.
That became a trap for them.
They sacrificed their sons and daughters
as offerings to false gods.
They killed those who weren’t guilty of doing anything wrong.
They killed their own sons and daughters.
They sacrificed them as offerings to statues of the gods of Canaan.
The land became “unclean” because of the blood of their children.
The people made themselves impure by what they had done.
They weren’t faithful to the Lord.
