Albert Barnes Commentary Psalms 106:13

"They soon forgat his works; They waited not for his counsel," — Psalms 106:13 (ASV)

They soon forgot his works — On Psalms 106:13-15, see the notes at Psalms 78:17-22. Literally, here, as in the margin, "They made haste, they forgot." They did it soon; they did it without any delay. It was as if they were impatient to have it done.

They waited not for his counsel — For the fulfillment of his promise, or for his command in regard to their future conduct. They did not look to him, but they depended on themselves, and followed their own desires and wishes.
