37 When God led Israel from Egypt,they took silver and gold,and no one was left behind.
38 The Egyptians were afraidand gladly let them go.
39 God hid them under a cloudand guided them by fireduring the night.
40 When they asked for food,he sent more birdsthan they could eat.
41 God even split open a rock,and streams of watergushed into the desert.
42 God never forgothis sacred promiseto his servant Abraham.
43 When the Lord rescuedhis chosen people from Egypt,they celebrated with songs.
