God, you led your people out.
You took them across the desert.
Selah.
Then the ground shook,
    and rain poured down from the sky.
You showed your power at Sinai mountain.
You are the God who rules at Sinai.[a]
You are the God that Israel's people serve.
God, you caused much rain to fall
    on your special land.
You made it fresh again
    when it had been dry.[b]
