There was not
one feeble person among his tribes.
105:038 Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them had
fallen on them.
105:039 He spread a cloud for a covering, fire to give light in the night.
105:040 They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with
the bread of the sky.
105:041 He opened the rock, and waters gushed out. They ran as a river
in the dry places.
105:042 For he remembered his holy word, and Abraham, his servant.
105:043 He brought forth his people with joy, his chosen with singing.
105:044 He gave them the lands of the nations. They took the labor
of the peoples in possession,
105:045 that they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws.
Praise Yah!
106:001 Praise Yahweh! Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good,
for his loving kindness endures forever.
106:002 Who can utter the mighty acts of Yahweh, or fully declare
all his praise?
106:003 Blessed are those who keep justice. Blessed is one who does
what is right at all times.
106:004 Remember me, Yahweh, with the favor that you show to your people.
Visit me with your salvation,
106:005 that I may see the prosperity of your chosen, that I may
rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory
with your inheritance.
106:006 We have sinned with our fathers. We have committed iniquity.
We have done wickedly.
106:007 Our fathers didn't understand your wonders in Egypt. They didn't
remember the multitude of your loving kindnesses, but were
rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea{or, Sea of Reeds}.
106:008 Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might
make his mighty power known.
106:009 He rebuked the Red Sea{or, Sea of Reeds} also, and it was dried up;
so he led them through the depths, as through a desert.
106:010 He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, and redeemed
them from the hand of the enemy.
106:011 The waters covered their adversaries. There was not one
of them left.
106:012 Then they believed his words. They sang his praise.
106:013 They soon forgot his works. They didn't wait for his counsel,
106:014 but gave in to craving in the desert, and tested God
in the wasteland.
106:015 He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.
106:016 They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron, Yahweh's saint.
106:017 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered
the company of Abiram.
106:018 A fire was kindled in their company. The flame burned
up the wicked.
106:019 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshiped a molten image.
106:020 Thus they exchanged their glory for an image of a bull
that eats grass.
106:021 They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,
106:022 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome things by
the Red Sea{or, Sea of Reeds}.
