39The Lord spread out a cloud to cover his people.

He gave them a fire to light up the night.

40They asked for meat, and he brought them quail.

He satisfied them with manna, the bread of heaven.

41He broke open a rock, and streams of water poured out.

They flowed like a river in the desert.

42He remembered the holy promise

he had made to his servant Abraham.

43His chosen people shouted for joy

as he brought them out of Egypt.

44He gave them the lands of other nations.

He let them take over what others had worked for.

45He did it so they might obey his rules

and follow his laws.

Praise the Lord.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

He spread a cloud for a covering,

and fire to give light by night.

They asked, and he brought quail,

and gave them bread from heaven in abundance.

He opened the rock, and water gushed out;

it flowed through the desert like a river.

For he remembered his holy promise,

and Abraham, his servant.

So he brought his people out with joy,

his chosen ones with singing.

And he gave them the lands of the nations,

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

that they might keep his statutes

and observe his laws.

Praise the Lord!

NIVNew International Version (2011)

He spread out a cloud as a covering,

and a fire to give light at night.

They asked, and he brought them quail;

he fed them well with the bread of heaven.

He opened the rock, and water gushed out;

it flowed like a river 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.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

He spread a cloud as a covering

and gave a fire to light up the night.

They asked, and he brought quail

and satisfied them with bread from heaven.

He opened a rock, and water gushed out;

it flowed like a stream in the desert.

For he remembered his holy promise

to Abraham his servant.

He brought his people out with rejoicing,

his chosen ones with shouts of joy.

He gave them the lands of the nations,

and they inherited

what other peoples had worked for.

All this happened

so that they might keep his statutes

and obey his instructions.

Hallelujah!

NLTNew Living Translation

The Lord spread a cloud above them as a covering

and gave them a great fire to light the darkness.

They asked for meat, and he sent them quail;

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!

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

He spread out a cloud for a covering,

and fire to give light at night.

They asked, and he brought quail,

and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

He opened the rock and waters flowed;

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.
