Context of Psalms 105:13

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. They travelled among different nations and different kingdoms. 14But the Lord did not let anyone hurt them. He punished kings to keep his people safe. 15He said, ‘Do not even touch the people that I have chosen to be mine. Do not hurt my prophets.’
