44 He gave them the territories of nations, they reaped the fruit of other people's labours,44 And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;
45 on condition that they kept his statutes, and remained obedient to his laws.45 That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.
