You give to them, they gather it up; You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good.

The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac.

He turned their heart to hate His people, To deal cunningly with His servants.

Their land swarmed with frogs Even in the chambers of their kings.

Then He brought the Israelites out with silver and gold, And among His tribes there was not one who stumbled.

They asked, and He brought quail, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

For He remembered His holy word With His servant Abraham;

And He led out His people with joy, His chosen ones with a joyful shout.

And that they might keep His statutes And comply with His laws; Praise the LORD!

Remember me, LORD, in Your favor toward Your people. Visit me with Your salvation,

So that I may see the prosperity of Your chosen ones, That I may rejoice in the joy of Your nation, That I may boast with Your inheritance.

So they provoked Him to anger with their deeds, And a plague broke out among them.

Because they were rebellious against His Spirit, He spoke rashly with his lips.

But they got involved with the nations And learned their practices,

And shed innocent blood, The blood of their sons and their daughters Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; And the land was defiled with the blood.

For He has satisfied the thirsty soul, And He has filled the hungry soul with what is good.

Therefore He humbled their heart with labor; They stumbled and there was no one to help.

They shall also offer sacrifices of thanksgiving, And tell of His works with joyful singing.

My heart is steadfast, God; I will sing, I will sing praises also with my soul.

So that Your beloved may be rescued, Save with Your right hand, and answer me!
