Alleluia. At the going forth of Israel from Egypt, of the house of Jacob from a barbarous people,
—
Judea became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.
—
The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.
—
The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like lambs.
—
What [ailed] thee, O sea, that thou fleddest? and thou Jordan, that thou wast turned back?
—
[Ye] mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and [ye] hills, like lambs?
—
The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
—
who turned the rock into pools of water, and the flint into fountains of water.
—
Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to thy name give glory, because of thy mercy and thy truth;
—
lest at any time the nations should say, Where is their God?
—
But our God has done in heaven and on earth, whatsoever he has pleased.
—
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.
—
They have a mouth, but they cannot speak; they have eyes, but they cannot see:
—
they have ears, but they cannot hear; they have noses, but they cannot smell;
—
they have hands, but they cannot handle; they have feet, but they cannot walk: they cannot speak through their throat.
—
Let those that make them become like to them, and all who trust in them.
—
The house of Israel trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
—
The house of Aaron trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
—
They that fear the Lord trust in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
—
The Lord has remembered us, and blessed us: he has blessed the house of Israel, he has blessed the house of Aaron.
—
He has blessed them that fear the Lord, both small and great.
—
The Lord add [blessings] to you and to your children.
—
Blessed are ye of the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.
—
The heaven of heavens [belongs] to the Lord: but he has given the earth to the sons of men.
—
The dead shall not praise thee, O Lord, nor any that go down to Hades.
—
But we, the living, will bless the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
—
