104 Alleluja. Confitemini Domino, et invocate nomen ejus; annuntiate inter gentes opera ejus.

Cantate ei, et psallite ei; narrate omnia mirabilia ejus.

Laudamini in nomine sancto ejus; laetetur cor quaerentium Dominum.

Quaerite Dominum, et confirmamini; quaerite faciem ejus semper.

Mementote mirabilium ejus quae fecit; prodigia ejus, et judicia oris ejus:

semen Abraham servi ejus; filii Jacob electi ejus.

Ipse Dominus Deus noster; in universa terra judicia ejus.

Memor fuit in saeculum testamenti sui; verbi quod mandavit in mille generationes:

quod disposuit ad Abraham, et juramenti sui ad Isaac:

10 et statuit illud Jacob in praeceptum, et Israel in testamentum aeternum,

11 dicens: Tibi dabo terram Chanaan, funiculum haereditatis vestrae:

12 cum essent numero brevi, paucissimi, et incolae ejus.

13 Et pertransierunt de gente in gentem, et de regno ad populum alterum.

14 Non reliquit hominem nocere eis: et corripuit pro eis reges.

15 Nolite tangere christos meos, et in prophetis meis nolite malignari.

16 Et vocavit famem super terram, et omne firmamentum panis contrivit.

17 Misit ante eos virum: in servum venumdatus est, Joseph.

18 Humiliaverunt in compedibus pedes ejus; ferrum pertransiit animam ejus:

19 donec veniret verbum ejus. Eloquium Domini inflammavit eum.

20 Misit rex, et solvit eum; princeps populorum, et dimisit eum.

21 Constituit eum dominum domus suae, et principem omnis possessionis suae:

22 ut erudiret principes ejus sicut semetipsum, et senes ejus prudentiam doceret.

23 Et intravit Israel in AEgyptum, et Jacob accola fuit in terra Cham.

24 Et auxit populum suum vehementer, et firmavit eum super inimicos ejus.

25 Convertit cor eorum, ut odirent populum ejus, et dolum facerent in servos ejus.

26 Misit Moysen servum suum; Aaron quem elegit ipsum.

27 Posuit in eis verba signorum suorum, et prodigiorum in terra Cham.

28 Misit tenebras, et obscuravit; et non exacerbavit sermones suos.

29 Convertit aquas eorum in sanguinem, et occidit pisces eorum.

30 Edidit terra eorum ranas in penetralibus regum ipsorum.

31 Dixit, et venit coenomyia et ciniphes in omnibus finibus eorum.

32 Posuit pluvias eorum grandinem: ignem comburentem in terra ipsorum.

33 Et percussit vineas eorum, et ficulneas eorum, et contrivit lignum finium eorum.

34 Dixit, et venit locusta, et bruchus cujus non erat numerus:

35 et comedit omne foenum in terra eorum, et comedit omnem fructum terrae eorum.

36 Et percussit omne primogenitum in terra eorum, primitias omnis laboris eorum.

37 Et eduxit eos cum argento et auro, et non erat in tribubus eorum infirmus.

38 Laetata est AEgyptus in profectione eorum, quia incubuit timor eorum super eos.

39 Expandit nubem in protectionem eorum, et ignem ut luceret eis per noctem.

40 Petierunt, et venit coturnix, et pane caeli saturavit eos.

41 Dirupit petram, et fluxerunt aquae: abierunt in sicco flumina.

42 Quoniam memor fuit verbi sancti sui, quod habuit ad Abraham puerum suum.

43 Et eduxit populum suum in exsultatione, et electos suos in laetitia.

44 Et dedit illis regiones gentium, et labores populorum possederunt:

45 ut custodiant justificationes ejus, et legem ejus requirant.

104 Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.

Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:

Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:

Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:

Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.

Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.

At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.

They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.

Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.

10 He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.

11 They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.

12 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.

13 He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.

14 He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;

15 And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.

16 The trees of the Lord are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;

17 Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.

18 The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.

19 He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.

20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.

21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.

22 The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.

23 Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.

24 O Lord, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

25 So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.

26 There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.

27 These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.

28 That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.

29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.

31 The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works.

32 He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.

33 I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

34 My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord.

35 Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the Lord, O my soul. Praise ye the Lord.
