1 In Judah God is known; ♦︎
his name is great in Israel.
2 At Salem is his tabernacle, ♦︎
and his dwelling place in Zion.
3 There broke he the flashing arrows of the bow, ♦︎
the shield, the sword and the weapons of war.
4 In the light of splendour you appeared, ♦︎
glorious from the eternal mountains.
5 The boastful were plundered; they have slept their sleep; ♦︎
none of the warriors can lift their hand.
6 At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, ♦︎
both horse and chariot fell stunned.
7 Terrible are you in majesty: ♦︎
who can stand before your face when you are angry?
8 You caused your judgement to be heard from heaven; ♦︎
the earth trembled and was still,
9 When God arose to judgement, ♦︎
to save all the meek upon earth.
10 You crushed the wrath of the peoples ♦︎
and bridled the wrathful remnant.
11 Make a vow to the Lord your God and keep it; ♦︎
let all who are round about him bring gifts
to him that is worthy to be feared.
12 He breaks down the spirit of princes ♦︎
and strikes terror in the kings of the earth.
1 Alleluia.
Praise the Lord from the heavens; ♦︎
praise him in the heights.
2 Praise him, all you his angels; ♦︎
praise him, all his host.
3 Praise him, sun and moon; ♦︎
praise him, all you stars of light.
4 Praise him, heaven of heavens, ♦︎
and you waters above the heavens.
5 Let them praise the name of the Lord, ♦︎
for he commanded and they were created.
6 He made them fast for ever and ever; ♦︎
he gave them a law which shall not pass away.
7 Praise the Lord from the earth, ♦︎
you sea monsters and all deeps;
8 Fire and hail, snow and mist, ♦︎
tempestuous wind, fulfilling his word;
9 Mountains and all hills, ♦︎
fruit trees and all cedars;
10 Wild beasts and all cattle, ♦︎
creeping things and birds on the wing;
11 Kings of the earth and all peoples, ♦︎
princes and all rulers of the world;
12 Young men and women,
old and young together; ♦︎
let them praise the name of the Lord.
13 For his name only is exalted, ♦︎
his splendour above earth and heaven.
14 He has raised up the horn of his people
and praise for all his faithful servants, ♦︎
the children of Israel, a people who are near him.
Alleluia.
