| 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. |
