स्तोत्र ग्रन्थ 106

1Alleluia. Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

2Who shall declare the powers of the Lord? who shall set forth all his praises?

3Blessed are they that keep judgment, and do justice at all times.

4Remember us, O Lord, in the favour of thy people: visit us with thy salvation.

5That we may see the good of thy chosen, that we may rejoice in the joy of thy nation: that thou mayst be praised with thy inheritance.

6We have sinned with our fathers: we have acted unjustly, we have wrought iniquity.

7Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt: they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies: And they provoked to wrath going up to the sea, even the Red Sea.

8And he saved them for his own name’s sake: that he might make his power known.

9And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up: and he led them through the depths, as in a wilderness.

10And he saved them from the hand of them that hated them: and he redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

11And the water covered them that afflicted them: there was not one of them left.

12And they believed his words: and they sang his praises.

13They had quickly done, they forgot his works: and they waited not for his counsels.

14And they coveted their desire in the desert: and they tempted God in the place without water.

15And he gave them their request: and sent fulness into their souls.

16And they provoked Moses in the camp, Aaron the holy one of the Lord.

17The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan: and covered the congregation of Abiron.

18And a fire was kindled in their congregation: the flame burned the wicked.

19They made also a calf in Horeb: and they adored the graven thing.

20And they changed their glory into the likeness of a calf that eateth grass.

21They forgot God, who saved them, who had done great things in Egypt,

22Wondrous works in the land of Cham: terrible things in the Red Sea.

23And he said that he would destroy them: had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach: To turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.

24And they set at nought the desirable land. They believed not his word,

25And they murmured in their tents: they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord.

26And he lifted up his hand over them: to overthrow them in the desert;

27And to cast down their seed among the nations, and to scatter them in the countries.

28They also were initiated to Beelphegor: and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

29And they provoked him with their inventions: and destruction was multiplied among them.

30Then Phinees stood up, and pacified him: and the slaughter ceased.

31And it was reputed to him unto justice, to generation and generation for evermore.

32They provoked him also at the waters of contradiction: and Moses was afflicted for their sakes:

33Because they exasperated his spirit. And he distinguished with his lips.

34They did not destroy the nations of which the Lord spoke unto them.

35And they were mingled among the heathens, and learned their works:

36And served their idols, and it became a stumblingblock to them.

37And they sacrificed their sons, and their daughters to devils.

38And they shed innocent blood: the blood of their sons and of their daughters which they sacrificed to the idols of Chanaan. And the land was polluted with blood,

39And was defiled with their works: and they went aside after their own inventions.

40And the Lord was exceedingly angry with his people: and he abhorred his inheritance.

41And he delivered them into the hands of the nations: and they that hated them had dominion over them.

42And their enemies afflicted them: and they were humbled under their hands:

43Many times did he deliver them. But they provoked him with their counsel: and they were brought low by their iniquities.

44And he saw when they were in tribulation: and he heard their prayer.

45And he was mindful of his covenant: and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.

46And he gave them unto mercies, in the sight of all those that had made them captives.

47Save us, O Lord, our God: and gather us from among nations: That we may give thanks to thy holy name, and may glory in thy praise.

48Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say: So be it, so be it.

1Alleluja. [Confitemini Domino, quoniam bonus, quoniam in sæculum misericordia ejus.

2Quis loquetur potentias Domini; auditas faciet omnes laudes ejus?

3Beati qui custodiunt judicium, et faciunt justitiam in omni tempore.

4Memento nostri, Domine, in beneplacito populi tui; visita nos in salutari tuo:

5ad videndum in bonitate electorum tuorum; ad lætandum in lætitia gentis tuæ: ut lauderis cum hæreditate tua.

6Peccavimus cum patribus nostris: injuste egimus; iniquitatem fecimus.

7Patres nostri in Ægypto non intellexerunt mirabilia tua; non fuerunt memores multitudinis misericordiæ tuæ. Et irritaverunt ascendentes in mare, mare Rubrum;

8et salvavit eos propter nomen suum, ut notam faceret potentiam suam.

9Et increpuit mare Rubrum et exsiccatum est, et deduxit eos in abyssis sicut in deserto.

10Et salvavit eos de manu odientium, et redemit eos de manu inimici.

11Et operuit aqua tribulantes eos; unus ex eis non remansit.

12Et crediderunt verbis ejus, et laudaverunt laudem ejus.

13Cito fecerunt; obliti sunt operum ejus: et non sustinuerunt consilium ejus.

14Et concupierunt concupiscentiam in deserto, et tentaverunt Deum in inaquoso.

15Et dedit eis petitionem ipsorum, et misit saturitatem in animas eorum.

16Et irritaverunt Moysen in castris; Aaron, sanctum Domini.

17Aperta est terra, et deglutivit Dathan, et operuit super congregationem Abiron.

18Et exarsit ignis in synagoga eorum: flamma combussit peccatores.

19Et fecerunt vitulum in Horeb, et adoraverunt sculptile.

20Et mutaverunt gloriam suam in similitudinem vituli comedentis fœnum.

21Obliti sunt Deum qui salvavit eos; qui fecit magnalia in Ægypto,

22mirabilia in terra Cham, terribilia in mari Rubro.

23Et dixit ut disperderet eos, si non Moyses, electus ejus, stetisset in confractione in conspectu ejus, ut averteret iram ejus, ne disperderet eos.

24Et pro nihilo habuerunt terram desiderabilem; non crediderunt verbo ejus.

25Et murmuraverunt in tabernaculis suis; non exaudierunt vocem Domini.

26Et elevavit manum suam super eos ut prosterneret eos in deserto:

27et ut dejiceret semen eorum in nationibus, et dispergeret eos in regionibus.

28Et initiati sunt Beelphegor, et comederunt sacrificia mortuorum.

29Et irritaverunt eum in adinventionibus suis, et multiplicata est in eis ruina.

30Et stetit Phinees, et placavit, et cessavit quassatio.

31Et reputatum est ei in justitiam, in generationem et generationem usque in sempiternum.

32Et irritaverunt eum ad aquas contradictionis, et vexatus est Moyses propter eos:

33quia exacerbaverunt spiritum ejus, et distinxit in labiis suis.

34Non disperdiderunt gentes quas dixit Dominus illis:

35et commisti sunt inter gentes, et didicerunt opera eorum;

36et servierunt sculptilibus eorum, et factum est illis in scandalum.

37Et immolaverunt filios suos et filias suas dæmoniis.

38Et effuderunt sanguinem innocentem, sanguinem filiorum suorum et filiarum suarum, quas sacrificaverunt sculptilibus Chanaan. Et infecta est terra in sanguinibus,

39et contaminata est in operibus eorum: et fornicati sunt in adinventionibus suis.

40Et iratus est furore Dominus in populum suum, et abominatus est hæreditatem suam.

41Et tradidit eos in manus gentium; et dominati sunt eorum qui oderunt eos.

42Et tribulaverunt eos inimici eorum, et humiliati sunt sub manibus eorum;

43sæpe liberavit eos. Ipsi autem exacerbaverunt eum in consilio suo, et humiliati sunt in iniquitatibus suis.

44Et vidit cum tribularentur, et audivit orationem eorum.

45Et memor fuit testamenti sui, et pœnituit eum secundum multitudinem misericordiæ suæ:

46et dedit eos in misericordias, in conspectu omnium qui ceperant eos.

47Salvos nos fac, Domine Deus noster, et congrega nos de nationibus: ut confiteamur nomini sancto tuo, et gloriemur in laude tua.

48Benedictus Dominus Deus Israël, a sæculo et usque in sæculum; et dicet omnis populus: Fiat, fiat.]

1Alleluia. Confess to the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy is with every generation.

2Who will declare the powers of the Lord? Who make a hearing for all his praises?

3Blessed are those who keep judgment and who do justice at all times.

4Remember us, O Lord, with good will for your people. Visit us with your salvation,

5so that we may see the goodness of your elect, so that we may rejoice in the joy of your nation, so that you may be praised along with your inheritance.

6We have sinned, as have our fathers. We have acted unjustly; we have wrought iniquity.

7Our fathers did not understand your miracles in Egypt. They did not remember the multitude of your mercies. And they provoked you, while going up to the sea, even the Red Sea.

8And he saved them for the sake of his name, so that he might make known his power.

9And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up. And he led them into the abyss, as if into a desert.

10And he saved them from the hand of those who hated them. And he redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

11And the water covered those who troubled them. Not one of them remained.

12And they believed his words, and they sang his praises.

13As soon as they had finished, they forgot his works, and they would not endure his counsel.

14And they coveted their desire in the desert, and they tempted God in a waterless place.

15And he granted to them their request, and he sent abundance into their souls.

16And they provoked Moses in the camp, and Aaron, the holy one of the Lord.

17The earth opened and swallowed Dathan, and it covered the congregation of Abiram.

18And a fire broke out in their congregation. A flame burned up the sinners.

19And they fashioned a calf at Horeb, and they adored a graven image.

20And they exchanged their glory for the likeness of a calf that eats hay.

21They forgot God, who saved them, who did great things in Egypt:

22miracles in the land of Ham, terrible things at the Red Sea.

23And he said that he would destroy them, yet Moses, his elect, stood firm before him in the breach, in order to avert his wrath, lest he destroy them.

24And they held the desirable land to be nothing. They did not trust in his word.

25And they murmured in their tabernacles. They did not heed the voice of the Lord.

26And he lifted up his hand over them, in order to prostrate them in the desert,

27and in order to cast their offspring among the nations, and to scatter them among the regions.

28And they were initiated into Baal of Peor, and they ate the sacrifices of the dead.

29And they provoked him with their inventions, and ruination was multiplied in them.

30Then Phinehas stood up and placated him: and so the violent disturbance ceased.

31And it was reputed to him unto justice, from generation to generation, even forever.

32And they provoked him at the Waters of Contradiction, and Moses was afflicted because of them,

33for they exasperated his spirit. And so he divided them with his lips.

34They did not destroy the nations, about which the Lord had spoken to them.

35And they were mixed among the Gentiles. And they learned their works,

36and they served their graven images, and it became a scandal to them.

37And they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.

38And they shed innocent blood: the blood of their sons and of their daughters, which they sacrificed to the graven images of Canaan. And the land was infected with bloodshed,

39and was contaminated with their works. And they fornicated according to their own inventions.

40And the Lord became furiously angry with his people, and he abhorred his inheritance.

41And he delivered them into the hands of the nations. And those who hated them became rulers over them.

42And their enemies afflicted them, and they were humbled under their hands.

43Many times, he delivered them. Yet they provoked him with their counsel, and they were brought low by their iniquities.

44And he saw that they were in tribulation, and he heard their prayer.

45And he was mindful of his covenant, and he repented according to the multitude of his mercies.

46And he provided for them with mercies, in the sight of all those who had seized them.

47Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from the nations, so that we may confess your holy name and glory in your praise.

48Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, from ages past, even to all ages. And let all the people say: Amen. Amen.
