1 When Israel came out of Egypt, ♦︎
the house of Jacob from a people of a strange tongue,
2 Judah became his sanctuary, ♦︎
Israel his dominion.
3 The sea saw that, and fled; ♦︎
Jordan was driven back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, ♦︎
the little hills like young sheep.
5 What ailed you, O sea, that you fled? ♦︎
O Jordan, that you were driven back?
6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams, ♦︎
you little hills like young sheep?
7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, ♦︎
at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 Who turns the hard rock into a pool of water, ♦︎
the flint-stone into a springing well.
1 Not to us, Lord, not to us,
but to your name give the glory, ♦︎
for the sake of your loving mercy and truth.
2 Why should the nations say, ♦︎
Where is now their God?
3 As for our God, he is in heaven; ♦︎
he does whatever he pleases.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, ♦︎
the work of human hands.
5 They have mouths, but cannot speak; ♦︎
eyes have they, but cannot see;
6 They have ears, but cannot hear; ♦︎
noses have they, but cannot smell;
7 They have hands, but cannot feel;
feet have they, but cannot walk; ♦︎
not a whisper do they make from their throats.
8 Those who make them shall become like them ♦︎
and so will all who put their trust in them.
9 But you, Israel, put your trust in the Lord; ♦︎
he is their help and their shield.
10 House of Aaron, trust in the Lord; ♦︎
he is their help and their shield.
11 You that fear the Lord, trust in the Lord; ♦︎
he is their help and their shield.
12 The Lord has been mindful of us and he will bless us; ♦︎
may he bless the house of Israel;
may he bless the house of Aaron;
13 May he bless those who fear the Lord, ♦︎
both small and great together.
14 May the Lord increase you more and more, ♦︎
you and your children after you.
15 May you be blest by the Lord, ♦︎
the maker of heaven and earth.
16 The heavens are the heavens of the Lord, ♦︎
but the earth he has entrusted to his children.
17 The dead do not praise the Lord, ♦︎
nor those gone down into silence;
18 But we will bless the Lord, ♦︎
from this time forth for evermore.
Alleluia.

12 As Gods chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. 13Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord* has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 15And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful. 16Let the word of Christ* dwell in you richly; teach and admonish one another in all wisdom; and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God.* 17And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
