23 You also multiplied (A)their children as the stars of heaven,
And brought them into the land
Which You had told their fathers
To go in and possess.
24 So (B)the [a]people went in
And possessed the land;
(C)You subdued before them the inhabitants of the land,
The Canaanites,
And gave them into their hands,
With their kings
And the people of the land,
That they might do with them as they wished.
25 And they took strong cities and a (D)rich land,
And possessed (E)houses full of all goods,
Cisterns already dug, vineyards, olive groves,
And [b]fruit trees in abundance.
So they ate and were filled and (F)grew fat,
And delighted themselves in Your great (G)goodness.
