19 Yet in Your manifold merciesYou did not forsake them in the wilderness.The pillar of the cloud did not depart from them by day,To lead them on the road;Nor the pillar of fire by night,To show them light,And the way they should go.
20 You also gave Your good Spirit to instruct them,And did not withhold Your manna from their mouth,And gave them water for their thirst.
21 Forty years You sustained them in the wilderness;They lacked nothing;Their clothes did not wear outAnd their feet did not swell.
22 “Moreover You gave them kingdoms and nations,And divided them into districts.So they took possession of the land of Sihon,The land of the king of Heshbon,And the land of Og king of Bashan.
23 You also multiplied their children as the stars of heaven,And brought them into the landWhich You had told their fathersTo go in and possess.
24 So the people went inAnd possessed the land;You subdued before them the inhabitants of the land,The Canaanites,And gave them into their hands,With their kingsAnd the people of the land,That they might do with them as they wished.
25 And they took strong cities and a rich land,And possessed houses full of all goods,Cisterns already dug, vineyards, olive groves,And fruit trees in abundance.So they ate and were filled and grew fat,And delighted themselves in Your great goodness.
