Unto the end. A Canticle Psalm of the Resurrection. Shout joyfully to God, all the earth.

Proclaim a psalm to his name. Give glory to his praise.

٣ 3 قُولُوا لِلهِ: «مَا أَرْوَعَ أَعْمَالَكَ». يَتَمَلَّقُكَ أَعْدَاؤُكَ لأَنَّ قُوَّتَكَ عَظِيمَةٌ.

Exclaim to God, “How terrible are your works, O Lord!” According to the fullness of your virtue, your enemies will speak lies about you.

٤ 4 كُلُّ الأَرْضِ تَسْجُدُ لَكَ وَتُسَبِّحُكَ. الْجَمِيعُ يَلْهَجُونَ بِاسْمِكَ.

Let all the earth adore you and sing psalms to you. May it sing a psalm to your name.

Draw near and see the works of God, who is terrible in his counsels over the sons of men.

٦ 6 حَوَّلَ الْبَحْرَ أَرْضاً يَابِسَةً، وَاجْتَازُوا فِي النَّهْرِ بِأَقْدَامِهِمْ. هُنَاكَ فَرِحْنَا بِهِ.

He converts the sea into dry land. They will cross the river on foot. There, we will rejoice in him.

٧ 7 يَحْكُمُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ بِقُوَّتِهِ، وَعَيْنَاهُ تُرَاقِبَانِ الأُمَمَ، فَلَا يَتَشَامَخُ الْمُتَمَرِّدُونَ.

He rules by his virtue for eternity. His eyes gaze upon the nations. May those who exasperate him, not be exalted in themselves.

٨ 8 أَيُّهَا الشُّعُوبُ بَارِكُوا إِلَهَنَا. ارْفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَكُمْ بِالتَّسْبِيحِ.

Bless our God, you Gentiles, and make the voice of his praise be heard.

٩ 9 هُوَ الَّذِي اسْتَحْيَانَا، وَلَمْ يَدَعْ أَرْجُلَنَا تَزِلُّ.

He has set my soul toward life, and he has granted that my feet may not be shaken.

١٠ 10 فَإِنَّكَ قَدِ اخْتَبَرْتَنَا يَا اللهُ، فَنَقَّيْتَنَا كَمَا تُنَقَّى الْفِضَّةُ.

For you, O God, have tested us. You have examined us by fire, just as silver is examined.

١١ 11 أَوْقَعْتَنَا فِي الشَّبَكَةِ وَأَلْقَيْتَ حِمْلاً ثَقِيلاً عَلَى ظُهُورِنَا.

You have led us into a snare. You have placed tribulations on our back.

١٢ 12 سَلَّطْتَ أُنَاساً عَلَيْنَا. اجْتَزْنَا فِي النَّارِ وَالْمَاءِ، وَلَكِنَّكَ أَخْرَجْتَنَا إِلَى أَرَاضٍ خَصِيبَةٍ.

You have set men over our heads. We have crossed through fire and water. And you have led us out to refreshment.

١٣ 13 أَدْخُلُ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ بِمُحْرَقَاتٍ وَأُوْفِيكَ نُذُورِي

I will enter your house with holocausts. I will repay my vows to you,

١٤ 14 الَّتِي نَطَقَتْ بِها شَفَتَايَ فِي وَقْتِ ضِيقِي، وَتَكَلَّمَ بِها فَمِي فِي بَلِيَّتِي.

which my lips discerned and my mouth spoke, in my tribulation.

١٥ 15 أُقَرِّبُ لَكَ مُحْرَقَاتٍ سَمِينَةً مِنْ كِبَاشٍ مَعَ بَخُورٍ. أُقَدِّمُ بَقَراً مَعَ تُيُوسٍ.

I will offer to you holocausts full of marrow, with the burnt offerings of rams. I will offer to you bulls as well as goats.

١٦ 16 تَعَالَوْا اسْمَعُوا يَا جَمِيعَ خَائِفِي اللهِ، فَأُحَدِّثَكُمْ بِمَا فَعَلَ لِنَفْسِي.

Draw near and listen, all you who fear God, and I will describe to you how much he has done for my soul.

١٧ 17 صَرَخْتُ إِلَيْهِ بِفَمِي وَعَظَّمْتُهُ بِلِسَانِي.

I cried out to him with my mouth, and I extolled him under my breath.

١٨ 18 إِنْ تَعَهَّدْتُ إِثْماً فِي قَلْبِي لَا يَسْتَمِعُ لِيَ الرَّبُّ.

If I have seen iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not heed me.

١٩ 19 وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ قَدِ اسْتَجَابَ لِي. أَصْغَى إِلَى صَوْتِ صَلاتِي.

And yet, God has heeded me and he has attended to the voice of my supplication.

٢٠ 20 تَبَارَكَ اللهُ الَّذِي لَمْ يُقْصِ عَنْهُ صَلاتِي، وَلَا حَجَبَ عَنِّي رَحْمَتَهُ.

Blessed is God, who has not removed my prayer, nor his mercy, from me.
