The Polyeleos

O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good,
v. Alleluia! For His mercy endures forever, alleluia! (after each verse)
O give thanks to the God of gods,
O give thanks to the Lord of lords,
To Him who alone has wrought great wonders,
To Him who made the heavens with understanding,
To Him who established the earth upon the waters,
To Him who alone has made great lights,
The sun for dominion of the day,
The moon and the stars for dominion of the night,
To Him who smote Egypt with their first-born,
And led forth Israel out of the midst of them,
With a strong hand and lofty arm,
To Him who divided the Red Sea into parts,
And led Israel through the midst of it,
And overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red Sea,
To Him who led His people through the wilderness,
To Him who smote great kings,
And slew mighty kings,
Sihon, king of the Amorites,
And Og, king of the land of Basan,
And gave their land for an inheritance,
An inheritance for Israel, His Servant,
For in our humiliation the Lord remembered us,
And redeemed us from our enemies,
He that gives food to all flesh,
O give thanks to the God of Heaven,
O Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, alleluia! For His mercy endures forever, alleluia!
