Context of Psalms 105:13

11“I will give you the land of Canaan as your special possession.” 12He said this when they were few in number, a tiny group of strangers in Canaan. They wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another. 14Yet he did not let anyone oppress them. He warned kings on their behalf: 15“Do not touch my chosen people, and do not hurt my prophets.”
