Psalm 106:23

Praise To Yahweh For His Faithfulness In Israel's History

²² Wonders in the land of Ham
And awesome things by the Red Sea.
²³ Therefore He said that He would destroy them,
Had not Moses His chosen one stood in the breach before Him,
To turn away His wrath from destroying them.
²⁴ Then they despised the pleasant land;
They did not believe in His word,
