Psalms 111:6
He has shown His people the power of His works by giving them the inheritance of the nations.
BSB
ASV
He hath showed his people the power of his works, In giving them the heritage of the nations.
KJV
He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.
He hath showed his people the power of his works,.... Or his works of power, his mighty works, in which his great power was shown; as to the people of Israel in Egypt, at the Red sea, in the wilderness, and in bringing them to and settling them in the land of Canaan; these he showed to them in fact, they saw them with their eyes; and he showed or declared them to them in prophecy, before they came to pass, as Kimchi observes, that it might not be said they came by chance.
He hath shewed his people the power of his works. They have seen what he is able to do and what force he is prepared to put forth on their behalf. This power Israel saw in physical works, and we in spiritual wonders, for we behold the matchless energy of the Holy Ghost and feel it in our own souls.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.

I had planted you like a choice vine from the very best seed. How could you turn yourself before Me into a rotten, wild vine?
It sprouted and became a spreading vine, low in height, with branches turned toward him; yet its roots remained where it stood. So it became a vine and yielded branches and sent out shoots.
