Quick answer

Sihon, Og, and all the kingdoms of Canaan fell before Yahweh, naming specific victories of the conquest.

Overview

By naming Sihon, Og, and the Canaanite kingdoms, the psalmist roots Israel's praise in concrete historical deliverance rather than vague memory. These defeated kings were proof that God keeps His covenant promises to give His people their inheritance. Such faithfulness assures believers that the God who fulfilled His word to Israel will fulfill every promise in Christ.
