24 The Lord made his people very fruitful;
    he made them too numerous(A) for their foes,
25 whose hearts he turned(B) to hate his people,
    to conspire(C) against his servants.
26 He sent Moses(D) his servant,
    and Aaron,(E) whom he had chosen.(F)
27 They performed(G) his signs(H) among them,
    his wonders(I) in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness(J) and made the land dark—
    for had they not rebelled against(K) his words?
29 He turned their waters into blood,(L)
    causing their fish to die.(M)
30 Their land teemed with frogs,(N)
    which went up into the bedrooms of their rulers.
31 He spoke,(O) and there came swarms of flies,(P)
    and gnats(Q) throughout their country.
32 He turned their rain into hail,(R)
    with lightning throughout their land;
33 he struck down their vines(S) and fig trees(T)
    and shattered the trees of their country.
34 He spoke,(U) and the locusts came,(V)
    grasshoppers(W) without number;(X)
35 they ate up every green thing in their land,
    ate up the produce of their soil.
36 Then he struck down all the firstborn(Y) in their land,
    the firstfruits of all their manhood.
37 He brought out Israel, laden with silver and gold,(Z)
    and from among their tribes no one faltered.
38 Egypt was glad when they left,
    because dread of Israel(AA) had fallen on them.

39 He spread out a cloud(AB) as a covering,
    and a fire to give light at night.(AC)
40 They asked,(AD) and he brought them quail;(AE)
    he fed them well with the bread of heaven.(AF)
41 He opened the rock,(AG) and water gushed out;
    it flowed like a river in the desert.

42 For he remembered his holy promise(AH)
    given to his servant Abraham.
43 He brought out his people with rejoicing,(AI)
    his chosen ones with shouts of joy;
44 he gave them the lands of the nations,(AJ)
    and they fell heir to what others had toiled(AK) for—
45 that they might keep his precepts
    and observe his laws.(AL)

Praise the Lord.[a](AM)
