His Steadfast Love Endures Forever

A Psalm for ^(A)giving thanks.

²⁷ The Lord said to Aaron, “Go into the wilderness ^(A)to meet Moses.” So he went and met him at the ^(B)mountain of God and kissed him. ²⁸ And Moses ^(C)told Aaron all the words of the Lord with which he had sent him to speak, and all ^(D)the signs that he had commanded him to do. ²⁹ Then Moses and Aaron ^(E)went and gathered together all the elders of the people of Israel. ^30 (F)Aaron spoke all the words that the Lord had spoken to Moses and did the signs in the sight of the people. ³¹ And the people ^(G)believed; and when they heard that the Lord had ^(H)visited the people of Israel and that he had ^(I)seen their affliction, ^(J)they bowed their heads and worshiped.
