Psalm 113:1-12 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. Alleluia. At the departure of Israel from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:

2. Judea was made his sanctuary; Israel was made his power.

3. The sea looked, and it fled. The Jordan was turned back again.

4. The mountains exulted like rams, and the hills like lambs among the sheep.

5. What happened to you, O sea, so that you fled, and to you, O Jordan, so that you were turned back again?

6. What happened to you, O mountains, so that you exulted like rams, and to you, O hills, so that you exulted like lambs among the sheep?

7. Before the face of the Lord, the earth was moved, before the face of the God of Jacob.

8. He converted the rock into pools of water, and the cliff into fountains of waters.

9. Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory.

10. Give glory to your mercy and your truth, lest the Gentiles should say, "Where is their God?"

11. But our God is in heaven. All things whatsoever that he has willed, he has done.

12. The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men.
