Context of Psalms 105:40
38Egypt was glad when they departed; For the fear of them had fallen upon them. 39He spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to give light in the night. They asked, and he brought quails, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven. 41He opened the rock, and waters gushed out; They ran in the dry places like a river. 42For he remembered his holy word, AndAbraham his servant.
