¹ For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. [A Psalm] of Asaph. Sing aloud to God our strength: Make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob.² Raise a song, and bring here the timbrel, The pleasant harp with the psaltery.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 testimony, When he went out over the land of Egypt, [Where] I heard a language that I did not 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 proved you at the waters of Meribah. Selah.

⁸ Hear, O my people, and I will testify to you: O 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 did not listen to my voice; And Israel did not want me.¹² So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, 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 should submit themselves to him: But their time should endure forever.¹⁶ He would feed them also with the finest of the wheat; And with honey out of the rock I would satisfy you.
