37 Then He brought [a]the Israelites out with (A)silver and gold,
And among His tribes there was not one who stumbled.
38 Egypt was (B)glad when they departed,
For the (C)dread of them had fallen upon [b]the Egyptians.
39 He spread out a (D)cloud as a [c]covering,
And (E)fire to illumine by night.
40 [d]They (F)asked, and He brought (G)quail,
And satisfied them with the [e](H)bread of heaven.
41 He opened the [f]rock and (I)water flowed out;
[g]It ran in the dry places like a river.
42 For He (J)remembered His holy word
With His servant Abraham;
43 And He led out His people with joy,
His chosen ones with a joyful (K)shout.
44 He also (L)gave them the lands of the [h]nations,
So that they (M)might take possession of the fruit of the peoples’ labor,
45 And that they might (N)keep His statutes
And comply with His laws;
[i]Praise [j]the Lord!

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

Praise the Lord!
