and they took possession of the fruit of the peoples’ toil,

and observe his laws.

He spread out a cloud as a covering,

and a fire to give light at night.

he fed them well with the bread of heaven.

it flowed like a river in the desert.

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.

and gave them a great fire to light the darkness.

he satisfied their hunger with manna—bread from heaven.

He split open a rock, and water gushed out

to form a river through the dry wasteland.

For he remembered his sacred promise

to his servant Abraham.

So he brought his people out of Egypt with joy,

his chosen ones with rejoicing.

He gave his people the lands of pagan nations,

and they harvested crops that others had planted.

All this happened so they would follow his decrees

and obey his instructions.

Praise the Lord!

they coursed through the dry places like a river.

For he remembered his holy promise;

he remembered Abraham his servant.

And so he brought out his people with joy,

his chosen ones with rejoicing.

And he gave to them the lands of the nations,

and they inherited the labor of the peoples,

so that they might observe his statutes,

and keep his laws.

Praise Yah.

KJV 1900King James Version

He spread a cloud for a covering;

And fire to give light in the night.

The people asked, and he brought quails,

And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out;

They ran in the dry places like a river.

For he remembered his holy promise,

And Abraham his servant.

And he brought forth his people with joy,

And his chosen with gladness:

And gave them the lands of the heathen:

And they inherited the labour of the people;

That they might observe his statutes,

And keep his laws.

Praise ye the Lord.
