Context of Psalms 105:40
38Egypt was glad when they left— for dread of them had fallen on them. 39He spread a cloud as a covering and fire to give light at night. They asked, and He brought quail, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. 41He opened a rock, and waters gushed out, flowed as a river in dry places. 42For He remembered His holy word to Abraham His servant.
