Psalm 105:43
He brought his people out with joy, his chosen with singing.
41He opened the rock, and waters gushed out. They ran as a river in the dry places.
42For he remembered his holy word, and Abraham, his servant.
43He brought his people out with joy, his chosen with singing.
44He gave them the lands of the nations. They took the labor of the peoples in possession,
45that they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Praise the LORD!
