Psalms 105:39

Compare all

37 ^aHe also brought them out with silver and gold,
And there was none feeble among His tribes.

38 ^aEgypt was glad when they departed,
For the fear of them had fallen upon them.

39 ^aHe spread a cloud for a covering,
And fire to give light in the night.

40 ^aThe people asked, and He brought quail,
And ^bsatisfied them with the bread of heaven.

41 ^aHe opened the rock, and water gushed out;
It ran in the dry places like a river.

42 For He remembered ^aHis holy promise,
And Abraham His servant.

43 He brought out His people with joy,
His chosen ones with¹ gladness.

44 ^aHe gave them the lands of the¹ Gentiles,
And they inherited the labor of the nations,

Psalms 105:39

He spread a cloud for a covering - See the notes at Psalms 78:14. In Numbers 10:34; it is said that "the cloud of the Lord was upon them by day," and from this seems to have been derived the idea of its "covering" them, as if it were a protection from the heat in the desert.
