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 Give thanks to Yahweh! Call on his name!
Make his doings known among the peoples.
2 Sing to him, sing praises to him!
Tell of all his marvelous works.
3 Glory in his holy name.
Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.
4 Seek Yahweh and his strength.
Seek his face forever more.
5 Remember his marvelous works that he has done:
his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
6 you offspring of Abraham, his servant,
you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
7 He is Yahweh, our God.
His judgments are in all the earth.
8 He has remembered his covenant forever,
the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
9 the covenant which he made with Abraham,
his oath to Isaac,
10 and confirmed it to Jacob for a statute;
to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
11 saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan,
the lot of your inheritance,"
12 when they were but a few men in number,
yes, very few, and foreigners in it.
13 They went about from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another people.
14 He allowed no one to do them wrong.
Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
15 "Don’t touch my anointed ones!
Do my prophets no harm!"
16 He called for a famine on the land.
He destroyed the food supplies.
17 He sent a man before them.
Joseph was sold for a slave.
18 They bruised his feet with shackles.
His neck was locked in irons,
19 until the time that his word happened,
and Yahweh’s word proved him true.
20 The king sent and freed him,
even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
21 He made him lord of his house,
and ruler of all of his possessions,
22 to discipline his princes at his pleasure,
and to teach his elders wisdom.
23 Israel also came into Egypt.
Jacob lived in the land of Ham.
24 He increased his people greatly,
and made them stronger than their adversaries.
25 He turned their heart to hate his people,
to conspire against his servants.
26 He sent Moses, his servant,
and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
27 They performed miracles among them,
and wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness, and made it dark.
They didn’t rebel against his words.
29 He turned their waters into blood,
and killed their fish.
30 Their land swarmed with frogs,
even in the rooms of their kings.
31 He spoke, and swarms of flies came,
and lice in all their borders.
32 He gave them hail for rain,
with lightning in their land.
33 He struck their vines and also their fig trees,
and shattered the trees of their country.
34 He spoke, and the locusts came
with the grasshoppers, without number.
35 They ate up every plant in their land,
and ate up the fruit of their ground.
36 He struck also all the firstborn in their land,
the first fruits of all their manhood.
37 He brought them out with silver and gold.
There was not one feeble person among his tribes.
38 Egypt was glad when they departed,
for the fear of them had fallen on them.
39 He spread a cloud for a covering,
fire to give light in the night.
40 They asked, and he brought quails,
and satisfied them with the bread of the sky.
41 He opened the rock, and waters gushed out.
They ran as a river in the dry places.
42 For he remembered his holy word,
and Abraham, his servant.
43 He brought his people out with joy,
his chosen with singing.
44 He gave them the lands of the nations.
They took the labor of the peoples in possession,
45 that they might keep his statutes,
and observe his laws.
Praise Yah!
