Psalmen 105:44 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 105:44

And gave them the lands of the Heathen
The countries of the seven nations that dwelt in Canaan; the Lord did it, who had a right to do it, being the possessor of heaven and earth; and who was provoked unto it by the sins of these Heathens, as well as promised it to his people the Israelites.

And they inherited the labour of the people;
dwelled in the houses they had built, which they found full of all good things; enjoyed the vineyards and olive trees they had planted, and possessed the wells which they had dug, ( Deuteronomy 6:10 Deuteronomy 6:11 ) . In like manner the heavenly Canaan is enjoyed by the saints without any labour of theirs; this inheritance is not of the law, nor of the works of it, it is the gift of God, ( Romans 4:14 ) ( 6:23 ) .

Psalmen 105:44 In-Context

42 Want Hij dacht aan Zijn heilig woord, aan Abraham, Zijn knecht.

43 Alzo voerde Hij Zijn volk uit met vrolijkheid, Zijn uitverkorenen met gejuich.

44 En Hij gaf hun de landen der heidenen, zodat zij in erfenis bezaten den arbeid der volken;

45 Opdat zij Zijn inzettingen onderhielden, en Zijn wetten bewaarden. Hallelujah!
