Edúcens nubes ab extrémo terræ: fúlgura in plúviam fecit.
Qui prodúcit ventos de thesáuris suis: qui percússit primogénita Ægýpti ab hómine usque ad pecus.
Et misit signa, et prodígia in médio tui, Ægýpte: in Pharaónem, et in omnes servos ejus.
Qui percússit gentes multas: et occídit reges fortes:
Sehon, regem Amorrhæórum, et Og, regem Bassan, et ómnia regna Chánaan.
Et dedit terram eórum hereditátem, hereditátem Israel, pópulo suo.
Dómine, nomen tuum in ætérnum: Dómine, memoriále tuum in generatiónem et generatiónem.
Quia judicábit Dóminus pópulum suum: et in servis suis deprecábitur.

Os habent, et non loquéntur: óculos habent, et non vidébunt.
Aures habent, et non áudient: neque enim est spíritus in ore ipsórum.
Símiles illis fiant qui fáciunt ea: et omnes qui confídunt in eis.
Domus Israel, benedícite Dómino: domus Aaron, benedícite Dómino.
Domus Levi, benedícite Dómino: qui timétis Dóminum, benedícite Dómino.

Declare his glory among the Gentiles: his wonders among all people.
For the Lord is great, and exceedingly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the Gentiles are devils: but the Lord made the heavens.
Praise and beauty are before him: holiness and majesty in his sanctuary.
Bring ye to the Lord, O ye kindreds of the Gentiles, bring ye to the Lord glory and honour: bring to the Lord glory unto his name.
Bring up sacrifices, and come into his courts: adore ye the Lord in his holy court.
Let all the earth be moved at his presence.
Say ye among the Gentiles, the Lord hath reigned.
For he hath corrected the world, which shall not be moved: he will judge the people with justice.
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad, let the sea be moved, and the fulness thereof: the fields and all things that are in them shall be joyful.
Then shall all the trees of the woods rejoice before the face of the Lord, because he cometh: because he cometh to judge the earth.

Send forth thy light and thy truth: they have conducted me, and brought me unto thy holy hill, and into thy tabernacles.
And I will go in to the altar of God: to God who giveth joy to my youth.
To thee, O God my God, I will give praise upon the harp: why art thou sad, O my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me?
Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance, and my God.

HOU art great, O Lord, for ever, and thy kingdom is unto all ages:For thou scourgest, and thou savest: thou leadest down to hell, and bringest up again: and there is none that can escape thy hand.
Give glory to the Lord, ye children of Israel, and praise him in the sight of the Gentiles:
Because he hath therefore scattered you among the Gentiles, who know not him, that you may declare his wonderful works, and make them know that there is no other almighty God besides him.
He hath chastised us for our iniquities: and he will save us for his own mercy.
See then what he hath done with us, and with fear and trembling give ye glory to him: and extol the eternal King of worlds in your works.
As for me, I will praise him in the land of my captivity: because he hath shewn his majesty toward a sinful nation.
Be converted therefore, ye sinners, and do justice before God, believing that he will shew his mercy to you.
And I and my soul will rejoice in him.

PRAISE ye] the name of the Lord: O you his servants, praise the Lord:You that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.
Praise ye the Lord, for the Lord is good: sing ye to his name, for it is sweet.
For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself: Israel for his own possession.
For I have known that the Lord is great, and our God is above all gods.
Whatsoever the Lord pleased he hath done, in heaven, in earth, in the sea, and in all the deeps.
He bringeth up clouds from the end of the earth: he hath made lightnings for the rain.
He bringeth forth winds out of his stores: He slew the firstborn of Egypt from man even unto beast.
He sent forth signs and wonders in the midst of thee, O Egypt: upon Pharao, and upon all his servants.
He smote many nations, and slew mighty kings:
Sehon king of the Amorrhites, and Og king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan.
And gave their land for an inheritance, for an inheritance to his people Israel.
Thy name, O Lord, is for ever: thy memorial, O Lord, unto all generations.
For the Lord will judge his people, and will be entreated in favour of his servants.
The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of men’s hands.
They have a mouth, but they speak not: they have eyes, but they see not.
They have ears, but they hear not: neither is there any breath in their mouths.
Let them that make them be like to them: and every one that trusteth in them.
Bless the Lord, O house of Israel: bless the Lord, O house of Aaron.
Bless the Lord, O house of Levi: you that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
Blessed be the Lord out of Sion, who dwelleth in Jerusalem.

LESSED be the Lord God of Israel,because he hath visited and wrought the redemption of his people:
And hath raised up an horn of salvation to us, in the house of David his servant:
As he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets, who are from the beginning:
Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us:
To perform mercy to our fathers, and to remember his holy testament,
The oath, which he swore to Abraham our father, that he would grant to us,
That being delivered from the hand of our enemies, we may serve him without fear,
In holiness and justice before him, all our days.
And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways:
To give knowledge of salvation to his people, unto the remission of their sins:
Through the bowels of the mercy of our God, in which the Orient from on high hath visited us:
To enlighten them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death: to direct our feet into the way of peace.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
