Psalm 105:37-45

New Living Translation

³⁷The Lord brought his people out of Egypt, loaded with silver and gold;
    and not one among the tribes of Israel even stumbled.
³⁸Egypt was glad when they were gone,
    for they feared them greatly.
³⁹The Lord spread a cloud above them as a covering
    and gave them a great fire to light the darkness.
⁴⁰They asked for meat, and he sent them quail;
    he satisfied their hunger with manna—bread from heaven.
⁴¹He split open a rock, and water gushed out
    to form a river through the dry wasteland.
⁴²For he remembered his sacred promise
    to his servant Abraham.
⁴³So he brought his people out of Egypt with joy,
    his chosen ones with rejoicing.
⁴⁴He gave his people the lands of pagan nations,
    and they harvested crops that others had planted.
⁴⁵All this happened so they would follow his decrees
    and obey his instructions.

Praise the Lord!
