Reading 1, Deuteronomy 4:32-34, 39-40

³² 'Put this question, then, to the ages that are past, that have gone before you, from when God created the human race on earth: Was there ever a word so majestic, from one end of heaven to the other? Was anything like it ever heard?

³³ Did ever a people hear the voice of the living God speaking from the heart of the fire, as you have heard it, and remain alive?

³⁴ Has it ever been known before that any god took action himself to bring one nation out of another one, by ordeals, signs, wonders, war with mighty hand and outstretched arm, by fearsome terrors -- all of which things Yahweh your God has done for you before your eyes in Egypt?

³⁹ 'Hence, grasp this today and meditate on it carefully: Yahweh is the true God, in heaven above as on earth beneath, he and no other.

⁴⁰ Keep his laws and commandments as I give them to you today, so that you and your children after you may prosper and live long in the country that Yahweh your God is giving you for ever.'

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 33:4-5, 6, 9, 18-19, 20, 22

⁴ The word of Yahweh is straightforward, all he does springs from his constancy.

⁵ He loves uprightness and justice; the faithful love of Yahweh fills the earth.

⁶ By the word of Yahweh the heavens were made, by the breath of his mouth all their array.

⁹ for, the moment he spoke, it was so, no sooner had he commanded, than there it stood!

¹⁸ But see how Yahweh watches over those who fear him, those who rely on his faithful love,

¹⁹ to rescue them from death and keep them alive in famine.

²⁰ We are waiting for Yahweh; he is our help and our shield,

²² Yahweh, let your faithful love rest on us, as our hope has rested in you.
