Psalms 105:9-15

105:9 the promise ¹  he made to Abraham,

the promise he made by oath to Isaac!

105:10 He gave it to Jacob as a decree,

to Israel as a lasting promise, ² 

105:11 saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan

as the portion of your inheritance.”

105:12 When they were few in number,

just a very few, and resident aliens within it,

105:13 they wandered from nation to nation,

and from one kingdom to another. ³ 

105:14 He let no one oppress them;

he disciplined kings for their sake,

105:15 saying, ⁴  “Don’t touch my chosen ⁵  ones!

Don’t harm my prophets!”
