1 Sing aloud to God, our strength!

Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob!

2 Raise a song, and bring here the tambourine,

the pleasant lyre with the harp.

3 Blow the trumpet at the New Moon,

at the full moon, on our feast day.

4 For it is a statute for Israel,

an ordinance of the God of Jacob.

5 He appointed it in Joseph for a covenant,

when he went out over the land of Egypt,

I heard a language that I didn’t know.

6 "I removed his shoulder from the burden.

His hands were freed from the basket.

7 You called in trouble, and I delivered you.

I answered you in the secret place of thunder.

I tested you at the waters of Meribah." Selah.

8 "Hear, my people, and I will testify to you,

Israel, if you would listen to me!

9 There shall be no strange god in you,

neither shall you worship any foreign god.

10 I am Yahweh, your God,

who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.

Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

11 But my people didn’t listen to my voice.

Israel desired none of me.

12 So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts,

that they might walk in their own counsels.

13 Oh that my people would listen to me,

that Israel would walk in my ways!

14 I would soon subdue their enemies,

and turn my hand against their adversaries.

15 The haters of Yahweh would cringe before him,

and their punishment would last forever.

16 But he would have also fed them with the finest of the wheat.

I will satisfy you with honey out of the rock."

1 To the Overcomer upon Gittith, [A Psalm] of Asaph. Sing aloud unto God our strength; make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.

2 Take the song and play the timbrel, the harp of joy with the psaltery.

3 Blow the shofar in the new moon in the time appointed on our solemn feast day.

4 For this [is] a statute of Israel [and] an ordinance of the God of Jacob.

5 This he ordained in Joseph [for] a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt [where] I heard a language [that] I did not understand.

6 I removed his shoulder from the burden; his hands were delivered from [working with] clay.

7 Thou didst call in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret [place] of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.

8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee; O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me,

9 no strange god shall be in thee, neither shalt thou worship any strange god.

10 I [am] the LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt; open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

11 But my people did not hearken to my voice, and Israel did not love me.

12 So I gave them up unto the hardness of their heart, [and] they walked in their own counsels.

13 Oh, if my people would hearken unto me [and] Israel would walk in my ways!

14 I would soon subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their adversaries.

15 The haters of the LORD would have submitted themselves unto him, and their time would endure for ever.

16 And [God] would have fed them also the finest of the wheat, and with honey out of the rock I would have satisfied thee.:
