A reading from the book of Exodus.

They had traveled from Rephidim into the desert of Sinai and camped there, in front of the mountain.

Then Moses went up to God, and YHWH called out from the mountain and said, “This is what you are to say to the house of Jacob, what you are to tell the Israelites: ‘You saw for yourselves what I did to Egypt, how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself.  If you now listen to my voice and keep my covenant, then the whole earth is my own, but you will be a kindom of priests — a holy nation.’

The Word of God recorded in the book of Exodus.

Response: We are God’s people and the sheep of God’s pasture.

Acclaim YHWH with joy, all the earth!
Serve YHWH with gladness!
Enter into God’s presence with a joyful song!

R: We are God’s people and the sheep of God’s pasture.

Know that YHWH is God!
YHWH mad us, and we belong to the Creator;
we are God’s people
and the sheep of God’s pasture.

R: We are God’s people and the sheep of God’s pasture.

For YHWH is good; God’s steadfast love endures forever,
and God’s faithfulness to all generations.

R: We are God’s people and the sheep of God’s pasture.
