23 You made their sons numerous as (A)the stars of heaven,
And You brought them into the land
Which You had said for their fathers to enter and possess.
24 (B)So their sons entered and possessed the land.
And (C)You subdued before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites,
And You gave them into their hand, with their kings and the peoples of the land,
To do with them according to their desire.
25 (D)They captured fortified cities and a [a](E)rich [b]land.
They took possession of (F)houses full of every good thing,
Hewn cisterns, vineyards, olive groves,
Trees for food in abundance.
So they ate, were filled, and (G)grew fat,
And (H)reveled in Your great goodness.
