“‘ I passed by you and saw you thrashing around in your blood, and I said to you as you lay in your blood,“ Live!” Yes, I said to you as you lay in your blood,“ Live!”I made you thrive like plants of the field. You grew up and matured and became very beautiful. Your breasts were formed and your hair grew, but you were stark naked.“‘ Then I passed by you and saw you, and you were indeed at the age for love. So I spread the edge of my garment over you and covered your nakedness. I pledged myself to you, entered into a covenant with you— this is the declaration of the Lord GOD— and you became mine.I washed you with water, rinsed off your blood, and anointed you with oil.I clothed you in embroidered cloth and provided you with fine leather sandals. I also wrapped you in fine linen and covered you with silk.I adorned you with jewelry, putting bracelets on your wrists and a necklace around your neck.I put a ring in your nose, earrings on your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.So you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was made of fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth. You ate fine flour, honey, and oil. You became extremely beautiful and attained royalty.Your fame spread among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect through my splendor, which I had bestowed on you. This is the declaration of the Lord GOD.

You, the LORD, are the God who chose Abram and brought him out of Ur of the Chaldeans, and changed his name to Abraham.You found his heart faithful in your sight, and made a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanites, Hethites, Amorites, Perizzites, Jebusites, and Girgashites— to give it to his descendants. You have fulfilled your promise, for you are righteous.You saw the oppression of our ancestors in Egypt and heard their cry at the Red Sea.You performed signs and wonders against Pharaoh, all his officials, and all the people of his land, for you knew how arrogantly they treated our ancestors. You made a name for yourself that endures to this day.You divided the sea before them, and they crossed through it on dry ground. You hurled their pursuers into the depths like a stone into raging water.You led them with a pillar of cloud by day, and with a pillar of fire by night, to illuminate the way they should go.You came down on Mount Sinai, and spoke to them from heaven. You gave them impartial ordinances, reliable instructions, and good statutes and commands.You revealed your holy Sabbath to them, and gave them commands, statutes, and instruction through your servant Moses.You provided bread from heaven for their hunger; you brought them water from the rock for their thirst. You told them to go in and possess the land you had sworn to give them.

Their clothes did not wear out, and their feet did not swell.

Psalms 78:11-72
They forgot what he had done, the wondrous works he had shown them.He worked wonders in the sight of their ancestors in the land of Egypt, the territory of Zoan.He split the sea and brought them across; the water stood firm like a wall.He led them with a cloud by day and with a fiery light throughout the night.He split rocks in the wilderness and gave them drink as abundant as the depths.He brought streams out of the stone and made water flow down like rivers.But they continued to sin against him, rebelling in the desert against the Most High.They deliberately tested God, demanding the food they craved.They spoke against God, saying,“ Is God able to provide food in the wilderness?Look! He struck the rock and water gushed out; torrents overflowed. But can he also provide bread or furnish meat for his people?”Therefore, the LORD heard and became furious; then fire broke out against Jacob, and anger flared up against Israelbecause they did not believe God or rely on his salvation.He gave a command to the clouds above and opened the doors of heaven.He rained manna for them to eat; he gave them grain from heaven.People ate the bread of angels. He sent them an abundant supply of food.He made the east wind blow in the skies and drove the south wind by his might.He rained meat on them like dust, and winged birds like the sand of the seas.He made them fall in the camp, all around the tents.The people ate and were completely satisfied, for he gave them what they craved.Before they had turned from what they craved, while the food was still in their mouths,God’s anger flared up against them, and he killed some of their best men. He struck down Israel’s fit young men.Despite all this, they kept sinning and did not believe his wondrous works.He made their days end in futility, their years in sudden disaster.When he killed some of them, the rest began to seek him; they repented and searched for God.They remembered that God was their rock, the Most High God, their Redeemer.But they deceived him with their mouths, they lied to him with their tongues,their hearts were insincere toward him, and they were unfaithful to his covenant.Yet he was compassionate; he atoned for their iniquity and did not destroy them. He often turned his anger aside and did not unleash all his wrath.He remembered that they were only flesh, a wind that passes and does not return.How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness and grieved him in the desert.They constantly tested God and provoked the Holy One of Israel.They did not remember his power shown on the day he redeemed them from the foe,when he performed his miraculous signs in Egypt and his wonders in the territory of Zoan.He turned their rivers into blood, and they could not drink from their streams.He sent among them swarms of flies, which fed on them, and frogs, which devastated them.He gave their crops to the caterpillar and the fruit of their labor to the locust.He killed their vines with hail and their sycamore fig trees with a flood.He handed over their livestock to hail and their cattle to lightning bolts.He sent his burning anger against them: fury, indignation, and calamity— a band of deadly messengers.He cleared a path for his anger. He did not spare them from death but delivered their lives to the plague.He struck all the firstborn in Egypt, the first progeny of the tents of Ham.He led his people out like sheep and guided them like a flock in the wilderness.He led them safely, and they were not afraid; but the sea covered their enemies.He brought them to his holy territory, to the mountain his right hand acquired.He drove out nations before them. He apportioned their inheritance by lot and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.But they rebelliously tested the Most High God, for they did not keep his decrees.They treacherously turned away like their ancestors; they became warped like a faulty bow.They enraged him with their high places and provoked his jealousy with their carved images.God heard and became furious; he completely rejected Israel.He abandoned the tabernacle at Shiloh, the tent where he resided among mankind.He gave up his strength to captivity and his splendor to the hand of a foe.He surrendered his people to the sword because he was enraged with his heritage.Fire consumed his chosen young men, and his young women had no wedding songs.His priests fell by the sword, and the widows could not lament.The Lord awoke as if from sleep, like a warrior from the effects of wine.He beat back his foes; he gave them lasting disgrace.He rejected the tent of Joseph and did not choose the tribe of Ephraim.He chose instead the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which he loved.He built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth that he established forever.He chose David his servant and took him from the sheep pens;he brought him from tending ewes to be shepherd over his people Jacob— over Israel, his inheritance.He shepherded them with a pure heart and guided them with his skillful hands.

-
Psalms 105:5-45
Remember the wondrous works he has done, his wonders, and the judgments he has pronounced,you offspring of Abraham his servant, Jacob’s descendants— his chosen ones.He is the LORD our God; his judgments govern the whole earth.He remembers his covenant forever, the promise he ordained for a thousand generations—the covenant he made with Abraham, swore to Isaac,and confirmed to Jacob as a decree and to Israel as a permanent covenant:“ I will give the land of Canaan to you as your inherited portion.”When they were few in number, very few indeed, and resident aliens in Canaan,wandering from nation to nation and from one kingdom to another,he allowed no one to oppress them; he rebuked kings on their behalf:“ Do not touch my anointed ones, or harm my prophets.”He called down famine against the land and destroyed the entire food supply.He had sent a man ahead of them— Joseph, who was sold as a slave.They hurt his feet with shackles; his neck was put in an iron collar.Until the time his prediction came true, the word of the LORD tested him.The king sent for him and released him; the ruler of peoples set him free.He made him master of his household, ruler over all his possessions—binding his officials at will and instructing his elders.Then Israel went to Egypt; Jacob lived as an alien in the land of Ham.The LORD made his people very fruitful; he made them more numerous than their foes,whose hearts he turned to hate his people and to deal deceptively with his servants.He sent Moses his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.They performed his miraculous signs among them and wonders in the land of Ham.He sent darkness, and it became dark— for did they not defy his commands?He turned their water into blood and caused their fish to die.Their land was overrun with frogs, even in their royal chambers.He spoke, and insects came— gnats throughout their country.He gave them hail for rain, and lightning throughout their land.He struck their vines and fig trees and shattered the trees of their territory.He spoke, and locusts came— young locusts without number.They devoured all the vegetation in their land and consumed the produce of their land.He struck all the firstborn in their land, all their first progeny.Then he brought Israel out with silver and gold, and no one among his tribes stumbled.Egypt was glad when they left, for the dread of Israel had fallen on them.He spread a cloud as a covering and gave a fire to light up the night.They asked, and he brought quail and satisfied them with bread from heaven.He opened a rock, and water gushed out; it flowed like a stream in the desert.For he remembered his holy promise to Abraham his servant.He brought his people out with rejoicing, his chosen ones with shouts of joy.He gave them the lands of the nations, and they inherited what other peoples had worked for.All this happened so that they might keep his statutes and obey his instructions. Hallelujah!
