39 God spread out clouds as a covering;gave lightning to provide light at night.
40 The people asked, and God brought quail;God filled them full with food from heaven.
41 God opened the rock and out gushed water—flowing like a river through the desert!
42 Because God remembered his holy promiseto Abraham his servant,
43 God brought his people out with rejoicing,his chosen ones with songs of joy.
44 God gave them the lands of other nations;they inherited the wealth of many peoples—
45 all so that they would keep his lawsand observe his instructions.Praise the Lord!
