Psalms 105:44

“And gave them the lands of the Heathen, etc.] The countries of the seven nations that dwelt in Canaan; the Lord did it, who had a right to do it, being the possessor of heaven and earth; and who was provoked unto it by the sins of these Heathens, as well as promised it to his people the Israelites. And they inherited the labour of the people; dwelled in the houses they had built, which they found full of all good things; enjoyed the vineyards and olive trees they had planted, and possessed the wells which they had dug, (<050610>Deuteronomy 6:10,11). In like manner the heavenly Canaan is enjoyed by the saints without any labour of theirs; this inheritance is not of the law, nor of the works…”

“And gave them the lands of the heathen - Of the “nations” of the land of Palestine, according to his promise. See the notes at Psalms 78:55. And they inherited the labor of the people - The fruit of their labors. See Deuteronomy 6:10-11; Joshua 13:7. return to 'Top of Page'”

“Labour - The fruits of their labour; their cities, vineyards, olive - yards. Next: Psalms Chapter 106”

“105:44 Canaan was a land of pagan nations (see 111:6). The psalmist might also be reflecting on God’s promise to Abraham (Gen 24:60) regarding the lands given to Isaac (Gen 26:3).”
