| 1 | Alleluia. Give glory to the Lord, and call upon his name: declare his deeds among the Gentiles. |
| 2 | Sing to him, yea sing praises to him: relate all his wondrous works. |
| 3 | Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord. |
| 4 | Seek ye the Lord, and be strengthened: seek his face evermore. |
| 5 | Remember his marvellous works which he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth. |
| 6 | O ye seed of Abraham his servant; ye sons of Jacob his chosen. |
| 7 | He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth. |
| 8 | He hath remembered his covenant for ever: the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. |
| 9 | Which he made to Abraham; and his oath to Isaac: |
| 10 | And he appointed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting testament: |
| 11 | Saying: To thee will I give the land of Chanaan, the lot of your inheritance. |
| 12 | When they were but a small number: yea very few, and sojourners therein: |
| 13 | And they passed from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people. |
| 14 | He suffered no man to hurt them: and he reproved kings for their sakes. |
| 15 | Touch ye not my anointed: and do no evil to my prophets. |
| 16 | And he called a famine upon the land: and he broke in pieces all the support of bread. |
| 17 | He sent a man before them: Joseph, who was sold for a slave. |
| 18 | They humbled his feet in fetters: the iron pierced his soul, |
| 19 | Until his word came. The word of the Lord inflamed him. |
| 20 | The king sent, and he released him: the ruler of the people, and he set him at liberty. |
| 21 | He made him master of his house, and ruler of all his possession. |
| 22 | That he might instruct his princes as himself, and teach his ancients wisdom. |
| 23 | And Israel went into Egypt: and Jacob was a sojourner in the land of Cham. |
| 24 | And he increased his people exceedingly: and strengthened them over their enemies, |
| 25 | He turned their heart to hate his people: and to deal deceitfully with his servants. |
| 26 | He sent Moses his servant: Aaron the man whom he had chosen. |
| 27 | He gave them power to shew his signs, and his wonders in the land of Cham. |
| 28 | He sent darkness, and made it obscure: and grieved not his words. |
| 29 | He turned their waters into blood, and destroyed their fish. |
| 30 | Their land brought forth frogs, in the inner chambers of their kings. |
| 31 | He spoke, and there came divers sorts of flies and sciniphs in all their coasts. |
| 32 | He gave them hail for rain, a burning fire in the land. |
| 33 | And he destroyed their vineyards and their fig trees: and he broke in pieces the trees of their coasts. |
| 34 | He spoke, and the locust came, and the bruchus, of which there was no number. |
| 35 | And they devoured all the grass in their land, and consumed all the fruit of their ground. |
| 36 | And he slew all the firstborn in their land: the firstfruits of all their labour. |
| 37 | And he brought them out with silver and gold: and there was not among their tribes one that was feeble. |
| 38 | Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them lay upon them. |
| 39 | He spread a cloud for their protection, and fire to give them light in the night. |
| 40 | They asked, and the quail came: and he filled them with the bread of heaven. |
| 41 | He opened the rock, and waters flowed: rivers ran down in the dry land. |
| 42 | Because he remembered his holy word, which he had spoken to his servant Abraham. |
| 43 | And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness. |
| 44 | And he gave them the lands of the Gentiles: and they possessed the labours of the people: |
| 45 | That they might observe his justifications, and seek after his law. |
