But God led his people out like sheep and he guided them like a flock through the desert.
You led our ancestors with a pillar of cloud by day and with a pillar of fire at night. It lit the way they were supposed to go.
Know that the Lord is God. He made us, and we belong to him; we are his people, the sheep he tends.
Then he brought his people out, and they carried with them silver and gold. Not one of his people stumbled.
You led your people like a flock by using Moses and Aaron.
because he is our God and we are the people he takes care of, the sheep that he tends. Today listen to what he says:
He takes care of his people like a shepherd. He gathers them like lambs in his arms and carries them close to him. He gently leads the mothers of the lambs.
