Bonus Reading, Psalms

The Exodus, in Song  

Today's reading is a dramatic retelling of the story of Exodus.  It has a prologue, giving an overview of God's relationship with the people of faith.  Then, poetically, the people become enslaved, endure slavery, and then witness the powerful salvation of God through plagues and miracles in the wilderness.  It is appropriate to remember this story of salvation during Holy Week -- it is one story that is traditionally read at the Great Vigil of Easter on Saturday evening.

Read Psalm 105  (NIV)   (NRSV)   (CEB)
