To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith. A Psalm of Asaph. Sing aloud to God our strength; shout for joy to the God of Jacob! |
2
|
Raise a song, sound the timbrel, the sweet lyre with the harp. |
3
|
Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the full moon, on our feast day. |

For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob. |
5
|
He made it a decree in Joseph, when he went out over the land of Egypt. I hear a voice I had not known: |
6
|
"I relieved your shoulder of the burden; your hands were freed from the basket. |
7
|
In distress you called, and I delivered you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. [Selah] |
8
|
Hear, O my people, while I admonish you! O Israel, if you would but listen to me! |
9
|
There shall be no strange god among you; you shall not bow down to a foreign god. |
10
|
I am the LORD 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 did not listen to my voice; Israel would have none of me. |
12
|
So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts, to follow their own counsels. |
13

14
|
I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn my hand against their foes. |
15
|
Those who hate the LORD would cringe toward him, and their fate would last for ever. |
16
|
I would feed you with the finest of the wheat, and with honey from the rock I would satisfy you." |
