1 O give thanks to the Lord, for he is gracious, ♦︎
for his steadfast love endures for ever.
2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say this, ♦︎
those he redeemed from the hand of the enemy,
3 And gathered out of the lands
from the east and from the west, ♦︎
from the north and from the south.
4 Some went astray in desert wastes ♦︎
and found no path to a city to dwell in.
5 Hungry and thirsty, ♦︎
their soul was fainting within them.
6 So they cried to the Lord in their trouble ♦︎
and he delivered them from their distress.
7 He set their feet on the right way ♦︎
till they came to a city to dwell in.
8 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his goodness ♦︎
and the wonders he does for his children.
9 For he satisfies the longing soul ♦︎
and fills the hungry soul with good.
10 Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, ♦︎
bound fast in misery and iron,
11 For they had rebelled against the words of God ♦︎
and despised the counsel of the Most High.
12 So he bowed down their heart with heaviness; ♦︎
they stumbled and there was none to help them.
13 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, ♦︎
and he delivered them from their distress.
14 He brought them out of darkness and out of the shadow of death, ♦︎
and broke their bonds asunder.
15 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his goodness ♦︎
and the wonders he does for his children.
16 For he has broken the doors of bronze ♦︎
and breaks the bars of iron in pieces.

22 Then Moses ordered Israel to set out from the Red Sea,* and they went into the wilderness of Shur. They went for three days in the wilderness and found no water. 23When they came to Marah, they could not drink the water of Marah because it was bitter. That is why it was called Marah.* 24And the people complained against Moses, saying, What shall we drink? 25He cried out to the Lord; and the Lord showed him a piece of wood;* he threw it into the water, and the water became sweet.
There the Lord * made for them a statute and an ordinance and there he put them to the test. 26He said, If you will listen carefully to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in his sight, and give heed to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will not bring upon you any of the diseases that I brought upon the Egyptians; for I am the Lord who heals you.
27 Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees; and they camped there by the water.

3Therefore, brothers and sisters,* holy partners in a heavenly calling, consider that Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession, 2was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all* Gods* house. 3Yet Jesus* is worthy of more glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house has more honour than the house itself. 4(For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.) 5Now Moses was faithful in all Gods* house as a servant, to testify to the things that would be spoken later. 6Christ, however, was faithful over Gods* house as a son, and we are his house if we hold firm* the confidence and the pride that belong to hope.
