wandering from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people,
God chose one people freely from all nations and bound Himself to them by covenant. He did not merely speak His promises to Abraham and his seed; He proved them true across centuries with unnumbered mercies, so that those delivered from Egypt would keep faith with Him and serve Him faithfully.

Commenting on Psalm 105:1-45
When they went from one nation, to another, from one Kingdom to another people. Migrating as the patriarchs did from the region of one tribe to the country of another they were singularly preserved. The little wandering family might have been cut off root and branch had not a special mandate been issued from the throne for their protection.
In praising God, reach back to what He did when His church was founded, for we who live now reap the benefit of those ancient mercies. His promise to the patriarchs was not mere words but His command, binding for a thousand generations, and the entail of it shall never be cut off.
