Context of Psalms 105:10

8He will always remember the covenant that he made with us. He made that promise to continue for ever. 9That is the promise that he made to Abraham, and that he also made to Isaac. He repeated it to Jacob as a law. It was a covenant with Israel's people that would continue for ever. 11He promised Jacob, ‘I will give to you the land of Canaan. It will belong to you, and to your descendants.’ 12At one time, God's people were only a few. They lived in Canaan as strangers.
