1 Alleluia. Acknowledge ye to the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy is without end.
2Acknowledge ye to the God of gods.
3Acknowledge ye to the Lord of lords.
4Which alone maketh great marvels.
5Which made heavens by under-standing.
6Which made steadfast [the] earth on waters.
7Which made great lights.
8The sun into the power of the day.
9The moon and the stars into [the] power of the night.
10Which smote Egypt with the first engendered things of them.
11Which led out Israel from the midst of them.
12In a mighty hand, and in an high arm.
13Which parted the Red Sea into partings.
14And led out Israel through the midst thereof.
15And he cast adown Pharaoh and his power, or virtue, in the Red Sea.
16Which led over his people through [the] desert.
17Which smote great kings.
18And killed strong kings.
19Sihon, the king of Amorites.
20And Og, the king of Bashan.
21And he gave the land of them to be heritage.
22Heritage to Israel, his servant.
23For in our lowness he had mind on us.
24And he again-bought us from our enemies.
25Which giveth meat to each flesh.
26Acknowledge ye to the God of heaven. Acknowledge ye to the Lord of lords; for his mercy is without end.
