Psalms 135:12

10 He struck down many nations and slaughtered mighty kings:

11 Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kings of Canaan.

He gave their land as an inheritance, as a heritage to His people Israel.

13 Your name, O LORD, endures forever, Your renown, O LORD, through all generations.

14 For the LORD will vindicate His people and will have compassion on His servants.
