| פתח צור ויזובו מים הלכו בציות נהר | 41 |
He opened the rock, and waters gushed forth; they ran in the dry places [like] a river.
| כי-זכר את-דבר קדשו את-אברהם עבדו | 42 |
For he remembered his holy word, [and] Abraham his servant;
| ויוצא עמו בששון ברנה את-בחיריו | 43 |
And he brought forth his people with gladness, his chosen with rejoicing;

And he gave them the lands of the nations, and they took possession of the labour of the peoples:
| בעבור ישמרו חקיו-- ותורתיו ינצרו הללו-יה | 45 |
That they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Hallelujah!
