1Alleluia. Give glory to the Lord, and call upon his name: declare his deeds among the Gentiles.
1Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD my God, You are very great; You are clothed with splendor and majesty.
2Sing to him, yea sing praises to him: relate all his wondrous works.
2He wraps Himself in light as with a garment; He stretches out the heavens like a tent,
3Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.
3laying the beams of His chambers in the waters above, making the clouds His chariot, walking on the wings of the wind.
4Seek ye the Lord, and be strengthened: seek his face evermore.
4He makes the winds His messengers, flames of fire His servants.
5Remember his marvellous works which he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth.
5He set the earth on its foundations, never to be moved.
6O ye seed of Abraham his servant; ye sons of Jacob his chosen.
6You covered it with the deep like a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.
7He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
7At Your rebuke the waters fled; at the sound of Your thunder they hurried away—
8He hath remembered his covenant for ever: the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
8the mountains rose and the valleys sank to the place You assigned for them—
9Which he made to Abraham; and his oath to Isaac:
9You set a boundary they cannot cross, that they may never again cover the earth.
10And he appointed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting testament:
10He sends forth springs in the valleys; they flow between the mountains.
11Saying: To thee will I give the land of Chanaan, the lot of your inheritance.
11They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12When they were but a small number: yea very few, and sojourners therein:
12The birds of the air nest beside the springs; they sing among the branches.
13And they passed from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people.
13He waters the mountains from His chambers; the earth is satisfied by the fruit of His works.
14He suffered no man to hurt them: and he reproved kings for their sakes.
14He makes the grass grow for the livestock and provides crops for man to cultivate, bringing forth food from the earth:
15Touch ye not my anointed: and do no evil to my prophets.
15wine that gladdens the heart of man, oil that makes his face to shine, and bread that sustains his heart.
16And he called a famine upon the land: and he broke in pieces all the support of bread.
16The trees of the LORD have their fill, the cedars of Lebanon that He planted,
17He sent a man before them: Joseph, who was sold for a slave.
17where the birds build their nests; the stork makes her home in the cypresses.
18They humbled his feet in fetters: the iron pierced his soul,
18The high mountains are for the wild goats, the cliffs a refuge for the rock badgers.
19Until his word came. The word of the Lord inflamed him.
19He made the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knows when to set.
20The king sent, and he released him: the ruler of the people, and he set him at liberty.
20You bring darkness, and it becomes night, when all the beasts of the forest prowl.
21He made him master of his house, and ruler of all his possession.
21The young lions roar for their prey and seek their food from God.
22That he might instruct his princes as himself, and teach his ancients wisdom.
22The sun rises, and they withdraw; they lie down in their dens.
23And Israel went into Egypt: and Jacob was a sojourner in the land of Cham.
23Man goes forth to his work and to his labor until evening.
24And he increased his people exceedingly: and strengthened them over their enemies,
24How many are Your works, O LORD! In wisdom You have made them all; the earth is full of Your creatures.
25He turned their heart to hate his people: and to deal deceitfully with his servants.
25Here is the sea, vast and wide, teeming with creatures beyond number, living things both great and small.
26He sent Moses his servant: Aaron the man whom he had chosen.
26There the ships pass, and Leviathan, which You formed to frolic there.
27He gave them power to shew his signs, and his wonders in the land of Cham.
27All creatures look to You to give them their food in due season.
28He sent darkness, and made it obscure: and grieved not his words.
28When You give it to them, they gather it up; when You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good things.
29He turned their waters into blood, and destroyed their fish.
29When You hide Your face, they are terrified; when You take away their breath, they die and return to dust.
30Their land brought forth frogs, in the inner chambers of their kings.
30When You send Your Spirit, they are created, and You renew the face of the earth.
31He spoke, and there came divers sorts of flies and sciniphs in all their coasts.
31May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in His works.
32He gave them hail for rain, a burning fire in the land.
32He looks on the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smolder.
33And he destroyed their vineyards and their fig trees: and he broke in pieces the trees of their coasts.
33I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
34He spoke, and the locust came, and the bruchus, of which there was no number.
34May my meditation be pleasing to Him, for I rejoice in the LORD.
35And they devoured all the grass in their land, and consumed all the fruit of their ground.
35May sinners vanish from the earth and the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, O my soul. Hallelujah!
36And he slew all the firstborn in their land: the firstfruits of all their labour.
