¹ For the Leader; upon the Gittith. [A Psalm] of Asaph.² Sing aloud unto God our strength; shout unto the God of Jacob.³ Take up the melody, and sound the timbrel, the sweet harp with the psaltery.⁴ Blow the horn at the new moon, at the full moon for our feast-day.⁵ For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.⁶ He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, when He went forth against the land of Egypt. ⁷ 'I removed his shoulder from the burden; His hands were freed from the basket.

⁸ Thou didst call in trouble, and I rescued thee; ⁹ Hear, O My people, and I will admonish thee: O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto Me!¹⁰ There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.¹¹ I am the LORD thy God, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt; ¹² But My people hearkened not to My voice; and Israel would none of Me.¹³ So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, that they might walk in their own counsels.¹⁴ Oh that My people would hearken unto Me, that Israel would walk in My ways!¹⁵ I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn My hand against their adversaries.¹⁶ The haters of the LORD should dwindle away before Him; and their punishment should endure for ever.

¹⁷ They should also be fed with the fat of wheat; and with honey out of the rock would I satisfy thee.'
