1 O give praise to the Lord; give honour to his name, talking of his doings among the peoples.2 Let your voice be sounding in songs and melody; let all your thoughts be of the wonder of his works.3 Have glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who are searching after the Lord be glad.4 Let your search be for the Lord and for his strength; let your hearts ever be turned to him.5 Keep in mind the great works which he has done; his wonders, and the decisions of his mouth;6 O you seed of Abraham, his servant, you children of Jacob, his loved ones.7 He is the Lord our God: he is judge of all the earth.8 He has kept his agreement in mind for ever, the word which he gave for a thousand generations;9 The agreement which he made with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac;10 And he gave it to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an eternal agreement;11 Saying, To you will I give the land of Canaan, the measured line of your heritage:12 When they were still small in number, and strange in the land;13 When they went about from one nation to another, and from one kingdom to another people.14 He would not let anyone do them wrong; he even kept back kings because of them,15 Saying, Put not your hand on those who have been marked with my holy oil, and do my prophets no wrong.16 And he took away all food from the land, so that the people were without bread.17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was given as a servant for a price:18 His feet were fixed in chains; his neck was put in iron bands;19 Till the time when his word came true; he was tested by the word of the Lord.20 The king sent men to take off his chains; even the ruler of the people, who let him go free.21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler over everything he had;22 To give his chiefs teaching at his pleasure, and so that his law-givers might get wisdom from him.23 Then Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob was living in the land of Ham.24 And his people were greatly increased, and became stronger than those who were against them.25 Their hearts were turned to hate against his people, so that they made secret designs against them.26 He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, the man of his selection.27 He let his signs be seen among the people, and his wonders in the land of Ham.28 He sent black night and made it dark; and they did not go against his word.29 At his word their waters were turned to blood, and he sent death on all their fish.30 Their land was full of frogs, even in the rooms of the king.31 He gave the word, and there came the dog-fly, and insects over all the land.32 He gave them ice for rain, and flaming fire in their land.33 He gave their vines and their fig-trees to destruction, and the trees of their land were broken down.34 At his word the locusts came, and young locusts more than might be numbered,35 And put an end to all the plants of their land, taking all the fruit of the earth for food.36 He put to death the first child of every family in the land, the first-fruits of their strength.37 He took his people out with silver and gold: there was not one feeble person among them.38 Egypt was glad when they went; for the fear of them had come down on them.39 A cloud was stretched over them for a cover; and he sent fire to give light in the night.40 At the people's request he sent birds, and gave them the bread of heaven for food.41 His hand made the rock open, and the waters came streaming out; they went down through the dry places like a river.42 For he kept in mind his holy word, and Abraham, his servant.43 And he took his people out with joy, the men of his selection with glad cries:44 And gave them the lands of the nations; and they took the work of the peoples for a heritage;45 So that they might keep his orders, and be true to his laws. Give praise to the Lord.

1 Alleluja. [Confitemini Domino, quoniam bonus,quoniam in sculum misericordia ejus.2 Quis loquetur potentias Domini ;auditas faciet omnes laudes ejus ?3 Beati qui custodiunt judicium,et faciunt justitiam in omni tempore.4 Memento nostri, Domine, in beneplacito populi tui ;visita nos in salutari tuo :5 ad videndum in bonitate electorum tuorum ;ad ltandum in ltitia gentis tu :ut lauderis cum hreditate tua.6 Peccavimus cum patribus nostris :injuste egimus ; iniquitatem fecimus.7 Patres nostri in gypto non intellexerunt mirabilia tua ;non fuerunt memores multitudinis misericordi tu.Et irritaverunt ascendentes in mare, mare Rubrum ;8 et salvavit eos propter nomen suum,ut notam faceret potentiam suam.9 Et increpuit mare Rubrum et exsiccatum est,et deduxit eos in abyssis sicut in deserto.10 Et salvavit eos de manu odientium,et redemit eos de manu inimici.11 Et operuit aqua tribulantes eos ;unus ex eis non remansit.12 Et crediderunt verbis ejus,et laudaverunt laudem ejus.13 Cito fecerunt ; obliti sunt operum ejus :et non sustinuerunt consilium ejus.14 Et concupierunt concupiscentiam in deserto,et tentaverunt Deum in inaquoso.15 Et dedit eis petitionem ipsorum,et misit saturitatem in animas eorum.16 Et irritaverunt Moysen in castris ;Aaron, sanctum Domini.17 Aperta est terra, et deglutivit Dathan,et operuit super congregationem Abiron.18 Et exarsit ignis in synagoga eorum :flamma combussit peccatores.19 Et fecerunt vitulum in Horeb,et adoraverunt sculptile.20 Et mutaverunt gloriam suamin similitudinem vituli comedentis fnum.21 Obliti sunt Deum qui salvavit eos ;qui fecit magnalia in gypto,22 mirabilia in terra Cham,terribilia in mari Rubro.23 Et dixit ut disperderet eos,si non Moyses, electus ejus,stetisset in confractione in conspectu ejus,ut averteret iram ejus, ne disperderet eos.24 Et pro nihilo habuerunt terram desiderabilem ;non crediderunt verbo ejus.25 Et murmuraverunt in tabernaculis suis ;non exaudierunt vocem Domini.26 Et elevavit manum suam super eosut prosterneret eos in deserto :27 et ut dejiceret semen eorum in nationibus,et dispergeret eos in regionibus.28 Et initiati sunt Beelphegor,et comederunt sacrificia mortuorum.29 Et irritaverunt eum in adinventionibus suis,et multiplicata est in eis ruina.30 Et stetit Phinees, et placavit,et cessavit quassatio.31 Et reputatum est ei in justitiam,in generationem et generationem usque in sempiternum.32 Et irritaverunt eum ad aquas contradictionis,et vexatus est Moyses propter eos :33 quia exacerbaverunt spiritum ejus,et distinxit in labiis suis.34 Non disperdiderunt gentesquas dixit Dominus illis :35 et commisti sunt inter gentes,et didicerunt opera eorum ;36 et servierunt sculptilibus eorum,et factum est illis in scandalum.37 Et immolaverunt filios suos et filias suas dmoniis.38 Et effuderunt sanguinem innocentem,sanguinem filiorum suorum et filiarum suarum,quas sacrificaverunt sculptilibus Chanaan.Et infecta est terra in sanguinibus,39 et contaminata est in operibus eorum :et fornicati sunt in adinventionibus suis.40 Et iratus est furore Dominus in populum suum,et abominatus est hreditatem suam.41 Et tradidit eos in manus gentium ;et dominati sunt eorum qui oderunt eos.42 Et tribulaverunt eos inimici eorum,et humiliati sunt sub manibus eorum ;43 spe liberavit eos.Ipsi autem exacerbaverunt eum in consilio suo,et humiliati sunt in iniquitatibus suis.44 Et vidit cum tribularentur,et audivit orationem eorum.45 Et memor fuit testamenti sui,et pnituit eum secundum multitudinem misericordi su :46 et dedit eos in misericordias,in conspectu omnium qui ceperant eos.47 Salvos nos fac, Domine Deus noster,et congrega nos de nationibus :ut confiteamur nomini sancto tuo,et gloriemur in laude tua.48 Benedictus Dominus Deus Isral, a sculo et usque in sculum ;et dicet omnis populus : Fiat, fiat.]
