Psalm 105:12-14

New International Reader's Version

¹² At first there weren’t very many of God’s people.
    There were only a few, and they were strangers in the land.
¹³ They wandered from nation to nation.
    They wandered from one kingdom to another.
¹⁴ But God didn’t allow anyone to treat them badly.
    To keep them safe, he gave a command to kings.
