1 Aleluia. Celebrai o Senhor, aclamai o seu nome, apregoai entre as nações as suas obras.2 Cantai-lhe hinos e cânticos, anunciai todas as suas maravilhas.3 Gloriai-vos do seu santo nome; rejubile o coração dos que procuram o Senhor.4 Recorrei ao Senhor e ao seu poder, procurai continuamente sua face.5 Recordai as maravilhas que operou, seus prodígios e julgamentos por seus lábios proferidos,6 ó descendência de Abraão, seu servidor, ó filhos de Jacó, seus escolhidos!7 É ele o Senhor, nosso Deus; suas sentenças comandam a terra inteira.8 Ele se lembra eternamente de sua aliança, da palavra que empenhou a mil gerações,9 que garantiu a Abraão, e jurou a Isaac,10 e confirmou a Jacó irrevogavelmente, e a Israel como aliança eterna,11 quando disse: Dar-te-ei a terra de Canaã, como parte de vossa herança.12 Quando não passavam de um reduzido número, minoria insignificante e estrangeiros na terra,13 e andavam errantes de nação em nação, de reino em reino,14 não permitiu que os oprimissem, e castigou a reis por causa deles.15 Não ouseis tocar nos que me são consagrados, nem maltratar os meus profetas.16 E chamou a fome sobre a terra, e os privou do pão que os sustentava.17 Diante deles enviara um homem: José, que fora vendido como escravo.18 Apertaram-lhe os pés entre grilhões, com cadeias cingiram-lhe o pescoço,19 até que se cumpriu a profecia, e o justificou a palavra de Deus.20 Então o rei ordenou que o soltassem, o soberano de povos o livrou,21 e o nomeou senhor de sua casa e governador de seus domínios,22 para, a seu bel-prazer, dar ordens a seus príncipes, e a seus anciãos, lições de sabedoria.23 Então Israel penetrou no Egito, Jacó foi viver na terra de Cam.24 Deus multiplicou grandemente o seu povo, e o tornou mais forte que seus inimigos.25 Depois, de tal modo lhes mudou os corações, que com aversão trataram o seu povo, e com perfídia, os seus servidores.26 Mas Deus lhes suscitou Moisés, seu servo, e Aarão, seu escolhido.27 Ambos operaram entre eles prodígios e milagres na terra de Cam.28 Mandou trevas e se fez noite, resistiram, porém, às suas palavras.29 Converteu-lhes as águas em sangue, matando-lhes todos os seus peixes.30 Infestou-lhes a terra de rãs, até nos aposentos reais.31 A uma palavra sua vieram nuvens de moscas, mosquitos em todo o seu território.32 Em vez de chuva lhes mandou granizo e chamas devorantes sobre a terra.33 Devastou-lhes as vinhas e figueiras, e partiu-lhes as árvores de seus campos.34 A seu mandado vieram os gafanhotos, e lagartas em quantidade enorme,35 que devoraram toda a erva de suas terras e comeram os frutos de seus campos.36 Depois matou os primogênitos do seu povo, primícias de sua virilidade.37 E Deus tirou os hebreus carregados de ouro e prata; não houve, nas tribos, nenhum enfermo.38 Alegraram-se os egípcios com sua partida, pelo temor que os hebreus lhes tinham causado.39 Para os abrigar Deus estendeu uma nuvem, e para lhes iluminar a noite uma coluna de fogo.40 A seu pedido, mandou-lhes codornizes, e os fartou com pão vindo do céu.41 Abriu o rochedo e jorrou água como um rio a correr pelo deserto,42 pois se lembrava da palavra sagrada, empenhada a seu servo Abraão.43 E fez sair, com júbilo, o seu povo, e seus eleitos com grande exultação.44 Deu-lhes a terra dos pagãos e desfrutaram das riquezas desses povos,45 sob a condição de guardarem seus mandamentos e observarem fielmente suas lei

1 O give thanks unto the Lord; call on his name: make known among the people his deeds.2 Sing unto, him, sing praises unto him: speak of all his wonderful works.3 Glorify yourselves in his holy name: let the heart of those rejoice that seek the Lord.4 Inquire after the Lord and his strength: seek his presence evermore.5 Remember his wonderful works which he hath done; his tokens, and the decrees of his mouth;6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob, his elect.7 He is the Lord our God: over all the earth are his decrees.8 He remembereth his covenant for ever, the word which he hath commanded, to the thousandth generation.9 Which he covenanted with Abraham; and his oath unto Isaac;10 And which he established unto Jacob as a statute, unto Israel as an everlasting covenant:11 Saying, "Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, as the portion of your inheritance."12 When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it;13 And when they wandered from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people:14 He suffered no man to oppress them; yea, he reproved kings for their sake;15 Saying, "Touch not my anointed, and do my prophets no harm,"––16 And he called for a famine over the land; every staff of bread he broke.17 He sent a man before them; for a servant was Joseph sold;18 They forced into fetters his feet; in iron was his body put:19 Until the time that his word came to pass, when the saying of the Lord had purified him.20 The king sent and unfettered him; the ruler of people, and let him go free.21 He appointed him lord of his house, and ruler of all his possession:22 That he might bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his ancients wisdom.23 Then came Israel into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.24 And he increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their adversaries.25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilely with his servants.26 He sent Moses his servant, Aaron also whom he had made choice of.27 They displayed among them his effective signs, and wonders in the land of Ham.28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.29 He changed their waters into blood, and slew their fish.30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the very chambers of their kings.31 He spoke, and there came various wild beasts, lice also within all their boundary.32 He gave them as their rain hail, and flames of fire in their land.33 And he smote their vines and their fig–trees, and broke the trees within their boundary.34 He spoke, and the locusts came, and crickets, and that without number;35 And they ate up all the herbs in their land, and ate up the fruit of their ground.36 And he smote all the first–born in their land, the first of all their strength.37 And he brought them forth with silver and gold: and there was not one that stumbled among his tribes.38 Egypt rejoiced when they departed; for the dread of them was fallen upon them.39 He spread out a cloud for a covering, and fire to give light in the night.40 The people asked, and he brought quails, and with heavenly bread he satisfied them.41 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out: they ran in the dry places like a river.42 For he remembered his holy word given to Abraham his servant.43 And he brought forth his people with gladness, with joyful song his elect.44 And he gave them the lands of nations; and the labor of people they obtained as an inheritance:45 So that they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Hallelujah.
