^1 (c)Sing aloud to God our strength;
    ^(d)shout for joy to the God of Jacob!
² Raise a song; sound ^(e)the tambourine,
    ^(f)the sweet lyre with ^(g)the harp.
³ Blow the trumpet at ^(h)the new moon,
    at the full moon, on our feast day.

⁴ For it is a statute for Israel,
    a rule^[b] of the God of Jacob.
⁵ He made it ⁽ⁱ⁾a decree in ^(j)Joseph
    when he ^(k)went out over^[c] the land of Egypt.
^(l)I hear a language ^(m)I had not known:
⁶ "I ⁽ⁿ⁾relieved your^[d] shoulder of ^(o)the burden;
    your hands were freed from the basket.
⁷ In distress you ^(p)called, and I delivered you;
    I ^(q)answered you in the secret place of thunder;
    I ^(r)tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah
^8 (s)Hear, O my people, while I admonish you!
    O Israel, if you would but listen to me!
⁹ There shall be no ^(t)strange god among you;
    you shall not bow down to a ^(u)foreign god.
^10 (v)I am the Lord your God,
    who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
    ^(w)Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

¹¹ "But my people did not listen to my voice;
    Israel ^(x)would not submit to me.
¹² So I ^(y)gave them over to their ^(z)stubborn hearts,
    to follow their own ^(aa)counsels.
^13 (ab)Oh, that my people would listen to me,
    that Israel would ^(ac)walk in my ways!
¹⁴ I would soon subdue their enemies
    and ^(ad)turn my hand against their foes.
¹⁵ Those who hate the Lord would ^(ae)cringe toward him,
    and their fate would last forever.
¹⁶ But he would feed you^[e] with ^(af)the finest of the wheat,
    and with ^(ag)honey from the rock I would satisfy you."
