But He ledforthHis own peoplelike sheepAnd guidedthem in the wildernesslike a flock;
"And with a pillarof cloudYou ledthem by day,And with a pillarof fireby nightTo lightfor them the wayIn whichthey were to go.
Knowthat the LORDHimselfis God;It is He who has madeus, and not we ourselves;[We are] His peopleand the sheepof His pasture.
Then He broughtthem out with silverand gold,And among His tribestherewas not onewho stumbled.
You ledYour peoplelike a flockBy the handof Mosesand Aaron.
For He is our God,And we are the peopleof His pastureand the sheepof His hand.Today,ifyou would hearHis voice,
Like a shepherdHe will tendHis flock,In His armHe will gatherthe lambsAnd carry[them] in His bosom;He will gently leadthe nursing[ewes].
