135:8-12 The Lord Delivered His People from Egypt and Brought Them to Canaan. The Lord has displayed his great power and his enduring love in the history of Israel; these verses mention the exodus from Egypt (vv. 8-9) and the conquest of the Promised Land (vv. 10-12; see 136:17-22). The defeat of Sihon and Og (Num. 21:21-35) was the first taste of victory for the new generation of Israel, and it strengthened their faith (cf. Deut. 2:26-3:11; 29:7; 31:4; Josh. 2:10; Neh. 9:22). Israel is under the special care of the Creator-Redeemer who exercises his power for their sake--what a privilege!
