Psalms 105:12-15

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. ¹ 

105:14 He let no one oppress them;

he disciplined kings for their sake,

105:15 saying, ²  “Don’t touch my chosen ³  ones!

Don’t harm my prophets!”

[105:13]  ¹ tn Heb “and from a kingdom to another nation.”
