We are reading from Exodus chapter 32, Leviticus chapter 23, and we are praying Psalm 79. Psalm 79. I keep forgetting to say that. I keep forgetting to mention that the Psalms are prayers.
And when we don't just read the Psalms, we pray the Psalms, much like the rest of scripture. But there's something about the Psalms. There's something about that particular genre in the Bible.

Exodus chapter 32, the golden calf.
When the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron and said to him, Up, make us gods who shall go before us. As for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.
And Aaron said to them, Take off the rings of gold which are in the ears of your wives, your sons and your daughters, and bring them to me. So all the people took off the rings of gold which were in their ears and brought them to Aaron, And he received the gold at their hand and fashioned it with a graving tool and made a molten calf.
