And now when you eat and drink, are you not doing so for yourselves?’”

On this day, in the month of Abib, you are going out.

The Lord will fight for you, and you can be still.”

But as for you, your dead bodies will fall in this wilderness,

He will demand a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will be his servants.

You are holy; you sit as king receiving the praises of Israel.

For you hate instruction and reject my words.

But it is you, a man like me, my close friend in whom I confided.

Many are appalled when they see me, but you are my secure shelter.

You shine brightly and reveal your majesty, as you descend from the hills where you killed your prey.

But you, O Lord, reign forever!

Your throne has been secure from ancient times; you have always been king.

But you remain; your years do not come to an end.

May you be blessed by the Lord, the creator of heaven and earth!

You are my God and I will give you thanks! You are my God and I will praise you!

You demand that your precepts be carefully kept.

You deserve praise, O Lord! Teach me your statutes!

You are good and you do good. Teach me your statutes!

I do not turn aside from your regulations, for you teach me.

You are my hiding place and my shield. I find hope in your word.
