40. They asked, and he brought them quail;he fed them well with the bread of heaven.
41. He opened the rock, and water gushed out;it flowed like a river in the desert.
42. For he remembered his holy promisegiven to his servant Abraham.
43. He brought out his people with rejoicing,his chosen ones with shouts of joy;
44. he gave them the lands of the nations,and they fell heir to what others had toiled for –
45. that they might keep his preceptsand observe his laws.Praise the Lord.
