| 1 | Alleluia. At the departure of Israel from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people: |
| 2 | Judea was made his sanctuary; Israel was made his power. |
| 3 | The sea looked, and it fled. The Jordan was turned back again. |
| 4 | The mountains exulted like rams, and the hills like lambs among the sheep. |
| 5 | What happened to you, O sea, so that you fled, and to you, O Jordan, so that you were turned back again? |
| 6 | What happened to you, O mountains, so that you exulted like rams, and to you, O hills, so that you exulted like lambs among the sheep? |
| 7 | Before the face of the Lord, the earth was moved, before the face of the God of Jacob. |
| 8 | He converted the rock into pools of water, and the cliff into fountains of waters. |
| 9 | Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory. |
| 10 | Give glory to your mercy and your truth, lest the Gentiles should say, "Where is their God?" |
| 11 | But our God is in heaven. All things whatsoever that he has willed, he has done. |
| 12 | The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men. |
| 13 | They have mouths, and do not speak; they have eyes, and do not see. |
| 14 | They have ears, and do not hear; they have noses, and do not smell. |
| 15 | They have hands, and do not feel; they have feet, and do not walk. Neither will they cry out with their throat. |
| 16 | Let those who make them become like them, along with all who trust in them. |
| 17 | The house of Israel has hoped in the Lord. He is their helper and their protector. |
| 18 | The house of Aaron has hoped in the Lord. He is their helper and their protector. |
| 19 | Those who fear the Lord have hoped in the Lord. He is their helper and their protector. |
| 20 | The Lord has been mindful of us, and he has blessed us. He has blessed the house of Israel. He has blessed the house of Aaron. |
| 21 | He has blessed all who fear the Lord, the small with the great. |
| 22 | May the Lord add blessings upon you: upon you, and upon your sons. |
| 23 | Blessed are you by the Lord, who made heaven and earth. |
| 24 | The heaven of heaven is for the Lord, but the earth he has given to the sons of men. |
| 25 | The dead will not praise you, Lord, and neither will all those who descend into Hell. |
| 26 | But we who live will bless the Lord, from this time forward, and even forever. |
