¹ Sing for joy to God, our strength;
    shout out loud to the God of Jacob.
² Begin the music. Play the tambourines.
    Play pleasant music on the harps and lyres.
³ Blow the trumpet at the time of the New Moon,
    when the moon is full, when our feast begins.
⁴ This is the law for Israel;
    it is the command of the God of Jacob.
⁵ He gave this rule to the people of Joseph
    when they went out of the land of Egypt.

I heard a language I did not know, saying:
⁶ "I took the load off their shoulders;
    I let them put down their baskets.
⁷ When you were in trouble, you called, and I saved you.
    I answered you with thunder.
    I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah
⁸ My people, listen. I am warning you.
    Israel, please listen to me!
⁹ You must not have foreign gods;
    you must not worship any false god.
¹⁰ I, the Lord, am your God,
    who brought you out of Egypt.
    Open your mouth and I will feed you.

¹¹ "But my people did not listen to me;
    Israel did not want me.
¹² So I let them go their stubborn way
    and follow their own advice.
¹³ I wish my people would listen to me;
    I wish Israel would live my way.
¹⁴ Then I would quickly defeat their enemies
    and turn my hand against their foes.
¹⁵ Those who hate the Lord would bow before him.
    Their punishment would continue forever.
¹⁶ But I would give you the finest wheat
    and fill you with honey from the rocks."
