41. He opened a rock, and water gushed out;it flowed like a stream in the desert.
42. For He remembered His holy promiseto Abraham His servant.
43. He brought His people out with rejoicing,His chosen ones with shouts of joy.
44. He gave them the lands of the nations,and they inheritedwhat other peoples had worked for.
45. All this happenedso that they might keep His statutesand obey His instructions. Hallelujah!
