 Egypt was glad of their going, * because they were afraid of them.

He spread out a cloud for a covering * and a fire to give light in the night season.

They asked, and quails appeared, * and he satisfied them with bread from heaven.

He opened the rock, and water flowed, * so the river ran in the dry places.

For God remembered his holy word * and Abraham his servant.

So he led forth his people with gladness, * his chosen with shouts of joy.

He gave his people the lands of the nations, * and they took the fruit of others’ toil,

That they might keep his statutes * and observe his laws. Hallelujah!

Part I

Hallelujah! Give thanks to the, for he is good, * for his mercy endures for ever.

Who can declare the mighty acts of the * or show forth all his praise?
