Yet he brought out his people like sheep; he led them through the wilderness like a flock.
You guided them with a pillar of cloud by day and with a pillar of fire by night to illumine for them the path they were to travel.
Acknowledge that the Lord is God! He made us and we belong to him; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
He brought his people out enriched with silver and gold; none of his tribes stumbled.
You led your people like a flock of sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
For he is our God; we are the people of his pasture, the sheep he owns. Today, if only you would obey him!
Like a shepherd he tends his flock; he gathers up the lambs with his arm; he carries them close to his heart; he leads the ewes along.
