They did not believe His word, but complained in their tents

They forgot God their Savior

God is the only One worthy of worship.

They sang His praise

“He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it dried up; So He led them through the depths, as through the wilderness. He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. The waters covered their enemies; There was not one of them left. Then they believed His words; They sang His praise.” -Psa. 106:9-12

God’s faithfulness and the proper response.

Nevertheless

“We have sinned with our fathers, We have committed iniquity, We have done wickedly.

Nevertheless He saved them for His name’s sake, That He might make His mighty power known.” – Psa. 106:6-8
