And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.

Verse 12 is found in chapter 135 of Psalms. Psalm 135 combines liturgical praise with a strong critique of idolatry. God is worthy of praise because he chose Jacob, acted in Egypt, defeated kings, and gave land to his people. Idols are described as objects unable to speak, see, or breathe, while the Lord acts in heaven, earth, and sea. Historical memory and polemic against idols converge in an invitation to bless the living God.

und gab ihr Land zum Erbe, zum Erbe seinem Volk Israel.
Y dio la tierra de ellos en heredad, En heredad a Israel su pueblo.
Dio sus tierras como heredad, como heredad a Israel, su pueblo.
Et il donna leur pays en héritage, En héritage à Israël, son peuple.
E diede i lor paesi per eredità, Per eredità ad Israele, suo popolo.
E deu a sua terra em herança, em herança a Israel, seu povo.
他賞賜他們的地為業, 作為自己百姓 以色列 的產業。
