Context
105:26 He sent his servant Moses , and Aaron , whom he had chosen . 105:27 They executed his miraculous signs among them, and his amazing deeds in the land of Ham . 105:28 He made it dark ; they did not disobey his orders . 105:29 He turned their water into blood , and killed their fish . 105:30 Their land was overrun by frogs , which even got into the rooms of their kings . 105:31 He ordered flies to come ; gnats invaded their whole territory . 105:32 He sent hail along with the rain ; there was lightning in their land . 105:33 He destroyed their vines and fig trees , and broke the trees throughout their territory . 105:34 He ordered locusts to come , innumerable grasshoppers . 105:35 They ate all the vegetation in their land , and devoured the crops of their fields . 105:36 He struck down all the firstborn in their land , the firstfruits of their reproductive power . 105:37 He brought his people out enriched with silver and gold ; none of his tribes stumbled . 105:38 Egypt was happy when they left , for they were afraid of them. 105:39 He spread out a cloud for a cover , and provided a fire to light up the night . 105:40 They asked for food, and he sent quails ; he satisfied them with food from the sky . 105:41 He opened up a rock and water flowed out; a river ran through dry regions . 105:42 Yes , he remembered the sacred promise he made to Abraham his servant . 105:43 When he led his people out , they rejoiced; his chosen ones shouted with joy . 105:44 He handed the territory of nations over to them , and they took possession of what other peoples had produced , 105:45 so that they might keep his commands and obey his laws . Praise the Lord !
