22 He did amazing things there in Ham’s country[a]!
    He did awesome things at the Red Sea!

23 God wanted to destroy those people,
    but Moses, the leader he chose, stood in the way.
God was very angry, but Moses begged him to stop,
    so God did not destroy the people.[b]

24 But then they refused to go into the wonderful land of Canaan.
    They did not believe that God would help them defeat the people there.

  2. Psalm 106:23 Or “God said he would destroy them. But Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach and repelled his anger from destroying.” This compares Moses to a soldier standing at a break in a wall defending the city against enemy soldiers.
