4. A*

It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, * and to sing praises unto thy Name, O Most Highest;
2  To tell of thy loving-kindness early in the morning, * and of thy truth in the night season;
3  Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the lute; * with a canticle, and upon the harp.
4  For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy works; * and I will rejoice in the operations of thy hands.
5  O Lord, how glorious are thy works! * thy thoughts are exceeding deep.
6  The unwise man doth not know, * nor will the fool understand these things.
7  When the ungodly shall spring up as the grass, * and all the workers of wickedness shall appear.
8  That they may perish for ever and ever : * but thou, Lord, art the Most Highest for evermore.
9  For lo, thine enemies, O Lord, lo, thine enemies shall perish; * and all the workers of wickedness shall be destroyed.
10  But my horn shall be exalted like the horn of an unicorn; * and my old age in plentiful mercy.
11  Mine eye also hath looked down upon mine enemies, * and mine ear shall hear of the downfall of the wicked that arise up against me.
12  The righteous shall flourish like a palm-tree, * and shall spread abroad like a cedar in Lebanon.
13  They that are planted in the house of the Lord, * shall flourish in the courts of the house of our God.
14  They shall still increase in a fruitful old age, * and shall be well treated, that they may declare :
15  That the Lord our God is righteous, * and there is no iniquity in him.
Here is not said Glory be.

Let us sing to the Lord, for he is gloriously magnified; * the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
2  The Lord is my strength and my praise, * and to me he is become salvation.
3  This is mine own God, and I will glorify him; * the God of my father, and I will exalt him.
4  The Lord is a mighty man of war, (all bow) Almighty is his Name. * Pharaoh's chariots and his host did he cast into the Sea.
5  Yea, even his chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea: * the depths have covered them, they went down to the bottom like a stone.
6  Thy right hand, O Lord, is magnified in strength; thy right hand, O Lord, hath slain the enemy. * And in the multitude of thy glory hast thou put down mine adversaries.
7  Thou hast sent forth thy wrath, and it hath consumed them as stubble. * And with the blast of thine anger the waters were gathered together.
8  The flowing water stood upright : * the depths were gathered together in the midst of the sea.
9  The enemy said: I will pursue, I will overtake, * I will divide the spoils; my soul shall have its fill.
10  I will draw my sword, * my hand shall slay them.
11  Thou hast blown with thy breath, and the sea did cover them; * they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
12  Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the mighty? * who is like unto thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praiseworthiness, performing wondrous things?
13  Thou stretchedst forth thy hand, and the earth did swallow them; * in thy mercy thou hast been a leader unto the people which thou hast redeemed.
14  And in thy strength thou hast carried them, * even unto thy holy habitation.
15  Nations rose up, and were angry; * sorrows took hold on the inhabitants of Palestine.
16  Then were the princes of Edom dismayed; trembling seized on the mighty men of Moab; * all the inhabitants of Canaan did become stiff.
17  Let fear and dread fall upon them; * in the greatness of thine arm.
18  Let them be as still as a stone * till thy people pass over, O Lord, which thou hast possessed.
19  For thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, * in thy most firm habitation which thou hast made, O Lord.
20  Even thy sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established; * the Lord shall reign from one eternity to another.
21  For Pharaoh went in on horseback with his chariots and horsemen into the sea, * and the Lord brought back the waters of the sea upon them.
22  But the children of Israel, they did walk on dry land * in the midst thereof. 
Here is not said Glory be.
