38. Egypt was glad when they departed,for dread of them had fallen upon it.
39. He spread a cloud for a covering,and fire to give light by night.
40. They asked, and he brought quail,and gave them bread from heaven in abundance.
41. He opened the rock, and water gushed out;it flowed through the desert like a river.
42. For he remembered his holy promise,and Abraham, his servant.
43. So he brought his people out with joy,his chosen ones with singing.
44. And he gave them the lands of the nations,and they took possession of the fruit of the peoples’ toil,
45. that they might keep his statutesand observe his laws. Praise the Lord!
