He brought out Israel,
laden with silver and gold,
and from among their tribes
no one faltered.
Egypt was glad when they left,
because dread of Israel had fallen on them.
He spread out a cloud as a covering,
and a fire to give light at night.
They asked,
and He brought them quail
and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
He opened the rock,
and water gushed out;
like a river it flowed in the desert.
For He remembered His holy promise
given to His servant Abraham.
He brought out His people with rejoicing,
His chosen ones with shouts of joy;
He gave them the lands of the nations,
and they fell heir to what others had toiled for -
that they might keep His precepts
and observe His laws.
Praise the Lord.
(Psalm 105:37-45)
