Louvores a Deus

1 Aleluia!

Louvai o nome do Senhor;

louvai-o, servos do Senhor,

2 vós que assistis na Casa do Senhor,

nos átrios da casa do nosso Deus.

3 Louvai ao Senhor, porque o Senhor é bom;

cantai louvores ao seu nome, porque é agradável.

4 Pois o Senhor escolheu para si a Jacó

e a Israel, para sua possessão.

5 Com efeito, eu sei que o Senhor é grande

e que o nosso Deus está acima de todos os deuses.

6 Tudo quanto aprouve ao Senhor, ele o fez,

nos céus e na terra,

no mar e em todos os abismos.

7 Faz subir as nuvens dos confins da terra,

faz os relâmpagos para a chuva,

faz sair o vento dos seus reservatórios.

8 Foi ele quem feriu os primogênitos no Egito,

tanto dos homens como das alimárias;

9 quem, no meio de ti, ó Egito, operou sinais e prodígios

contra Faraó e todos os seus servos;

10 quem feriu muitas nações

e tirou a vida a poderosos reis:

11 a Seom, rei dos amorreus,

e a Ogue, rei de Basã,

e a todos os reinos de Canaã;

12 cujas terras deu em herança,

em herança a Israel, seu povo.

13 O teu nome, Senhor, subsiste para sempre;

a tua memória, Senhor, passará de geração em geração.

14 Pois o Senhor julga ao seu povo

e se compadece dos seus servos.

15 Os ídolos das nações são prata e ouro,

obra das mãos dos homens.

16 Têm boca e não falam;

têm olhos e não veem;

17 têm ouvidos e não ouvem;

pois não há alento de vida em sua boca.

18 Como eles se tornam os que os fazem,

e todos os que neles confiam.

19 Casa de Israel, bendizei ao Senhor;

casa de Arão, bendizei ao Senhor;

20 casa de Levi, bendizei ao Senhor;

vós que temeis ao Senhor, bendizei ao Senhor.

21 Desde Sião bendito seja o Senhor,

que habita em Jerusalém!

Aleluia!

1 Praise ye Jehovah.

Praise ye the name of Jehovah;

Praise him, O ye servants of Jehovah,

2 Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah,

In the courts of the house of our God.

3 Praise ye Jehovah; for Jehovah is good:

Sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.

4 For Jehovah hath chosen Jacob unto himself,

And Israel for his own possession.

5 For I know that Jehovah is great,

And that our Lord is above all gods.

6 Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, that hath he done,

In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;

7 Who causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth;

Who maketh lightnings for the rain;

Who bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries;

8 Who smote the first-born of Egypt,

Both of man and beast;

9 Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt,

Upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants;

10 Who smote many nations,

And slew mighty kings,

11 Sihon king of the Amorites,

And Og king of Bashan,

And all the kingdoms of Canaan,

12 And gave their land for a heritage,

A heritage unto Israel his people.

13 Thy name, O Jehovah, endureth for ever;

Thy memorial name, O Jehovah, throughout all generations.

14 For Jehovah will judge his people,

And repent himself concerning his servants.

15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold,

The work of men’s hands.

16 They have mouths, but they speak not;

Eyes have they, but they see not;

17 They have ears, but they hear not;

Neither is there any breath in their mouths.

18 They that make them shall be like unto them;

Yea, every one that trusteth in them.

19 O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah:

O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah:

20 O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah:

Ye that fear Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah.

21 Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion,

Who dwelleth at Jerusalem.

Praise ye Jehovah.

1 Praise the LORD. "Praise the name of the LORD; praise him, you servants of the LORD,

2 you who minister in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God.

3 Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good; sing praise to his name, for that is pleasant.

4 For the LORD has chosen Jacob to be his own, Israel to be his treasured possession.

5 I know that the LORD is great, that our Lord is greater than all gods.

6 The LORD does whatever pleases him, in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all their depths.

7 He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth; he sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses.

8 He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, the firstborn of people and animals.

9 He sent his signs and wonders into your midst, Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.

10 He struck down many nations and killed mighty kings —

11 Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kings of Canaan —

12 and he gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance to his people Israel.

13 Your name, LORD, endures forever, your renown, LORD, through all generations.

14 For the LORD will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants.

15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, made by human hands.

16 They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see.

17 They have ears, but cannot hear, nor is there breath in their mouths.

18 Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.

19 All you Israelites, praise the LORD; house of Aaron, praise the LORD;

20 house of Levi, praise the LORD; you who fear him, praise the LORD.

21 Praise be to the LORD from Zion, to him who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise the LORD.
