¹ The LORD spread a cloud as a covering [by day], And a fire to illumine the night.

² The Israelites asked, and He brought quail, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

³ He opened the rock and water flowed out; It ran in the dry places like a river.

⁴ For He remembered His holy word To Abraham His servant;

⁵ He brought out His people with joy, And His chosen ones with a joyful shout,

⁶ He gave them the lands of the nations [of Canaan], So that they would possess the fruits of those peoples' labor,

⁷ So that they might observe His precepts And keep His laws [obediently accepting and honoring and valuing them]. Praise the LORD! (Hallelujah!)

⁸ Praise the LORD! (Hallelujah!) Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; For His mercy and lovingkindness endure forever!

⁹ Who can put into words the mighty deeds of the LORD? Or who can proclaim all His praise [that is due Him]?

¹⁰ Blessed are those who observe justice [by honoring God's precepts], Who practice righteousness at all times.

¹¹ Remember me, O LORD, when You favor Your people. Visit me with Your salvation [when You rescue them],

¹² That I may see the prosperity of Your chosen ones, That I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, That I may glory with Your inheritance.

¹³ We have sinned like our fathers; We have committed iniquity, we have behaved wickedly.

¹⁴ Our fathers in Egypt did not understand nor appreciate Your miracles; They did not remember the abundance of Your mercies nor imprint Your lovingkindnesses on their hearts, But they were rebellious at the sea, at the[1] Red Sea.

¹⁵ Nevertheless He saved them for His name's sake, That He might make His [supreme] power known.

¹⁶ He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; And He led them through the depths as through a pasture.

¹⁷ So He saved them from the hand of the one that hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the [Egyptian] enemy.

¹⁸ And the waters covered their adversaries; Not one of them was left.

¹⁹ Then Israel believed in [the validity of] His words; They sang His praise.

²⁰ But they quickly forgot His works; They did not [patiently] wait for His counsel and purpose [to be revealed regarding them],
