12 When they were but a small number: yea very few, and sojourners therein:

41 He opened the rock, and waters flowed: rivers ran down in the dry land.
他打開磐石,水就湧出; 在乾旱之處,水流成河。
42 Because he remembered his holy word, which he had spoken to his servant Abraham.
這都因他記念他的聖言 和他的僕人亞伯拉罕。
43 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness.
他帶領百姓歡樂而出, 帶領選民歡呼前往。
44 And he gave them the lands of the Gentiles: and they possessed the labours of the people:
他將列國的地賜給他們, 他們便承受眾民勞碌得來的,
45 That they might observe his justifications, and seek after his law.
好使他們遵他的律例, 守他的律法。 你們要讚美耶和華!
