The Lord made his people grow in number, and he made them stronger than their enemies.

He caused the Egyptians to hate his people and to make plans against his servants.

Then he sent his servant Moses, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.

Then he brought his people out, and they carried with them silver and gold. Not one of his people stumbled.

He remembered his holy promise to his servant Abraham.

So God brought his people out with joy, his chosen ones with singing.

The Lord saved his people many times, but they continued to turn against him. So they became even more wicked.
