Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Psalms 105:13
When they went from one nation to another, from [one] kingdom to another people;
13. When they went &c.] And (when) they went &c. The A.V. treats this verse as (virtually) the protasis to Psa 105:14: the R.V. places a semicolon at the end of Psa 105:12, and a full stop at the end of Psa 105:13, and treats Psa 105:13 as the continuation of Psa 105:12. Either construction is grammatically possible, but that of the A.V. is preferable. Psa 105:12 emphasises the conditions under which the promise was given, and concludes the first division of the Psalms Vv13-15 describe the migrations of the patriarchs among the different nations of Canaan, the Egyptians, and the Philistines, as recorded in the Book of Genesis. In all their wanderings Jehovah guarded them from harm, reproving even kings such as Pharaoh (Gen 12:10 ff.) and Abimelech (Genesis 20, 26) on their account.

When they went from one nation to another,…. From Chaldea to Mesopotamia; from thence to Canaan, and then into Egypt; and after that to Canaan again: which was the tour that Abraham took; and when in Canaan, and travelling from place to place there, might be said to go from nation to nation, since there were seven nations in that country.
From one kingdom to another people; from the kingdom of Palestine or Canaan to Egypt, which was a strange people; and of another language, as appears by the use of an interpreter between them, Ge 42:23. So Isaac, Jacob, and his posterity, journeyed from one of these kingdoms to the other. Thus the children of God are pilgrims and strangers in this world; they are unsettled in it; they are travelling through it, and a troublesome journey they have of it; they are bound to another country, to which they belong; and their hearts are there beforehand; and they look upon this world as a strange place, and at best but as an inn; where they tarry but for a time, till they get to their own country, the better and heavenly one.

13. From one nation to another From tribe to tribe among the original inhabitants of Canaan. The expression indicates not only an unsettled, but insecure, mode of life. The patriarchs sojourned among the Amorites, Hittites, Jebusites, Philistines, Canaanites, Perizzites, and were brought into contact with other tribes, besides their abode in Egypt.
