Psalms 135:12 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 135:12

And gave their land [for] an heritage
The land of the two kings before mentioned, which was given to the Reubenites, and Gadites, and half tribe of Manasseh, ( Deuteronomy 3:12-17 ) ; and the lands belonging to the several kingdoms of Canaan were given to the rest of the tribes;

an heritage unto Israel his people;
a type of the heavenly Canaan, the glorious, incorruptible, undefiled, and eternal inheritance; which is of God's free grace, chosen, prepared, and given; even a right unto it, and meetness for it, to the true and spiritual Israel of God, to his special people, his chosen, redeemed, and called ones.

Psalms 135:12 In-Context

10 Yes, he struck down great nations, he slew mighty kings -
11 Sihon king of the Amorites, also Og of Bashan - every last one of the Canaanite kings!
12 Then he turned their land over to Israel, a gift of good land to his people.
13 God, your name is eternal, God, you'll never be out-of-date.
14 God stands up for his people, God holds the hands of his people.
