To the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath.¹ Sing aloud to God our strength;
Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob.
² Raise a song and strike the timbrel,
The pleasant harp with the lute.

³ Blow the trumpet at the time of the New Moon,
At the full moon, on our solemn feast day.
⁴ For this is a statute for Israel,
A law of the God of Jacob.
⁵ This He established in Joseph as a testimony,
When He went throughout the land of Egypt,
Where I heard a language I did not understand.

⁶ “I removed his shoulder from the burden;
His hands were freed from the baskets.
⁷ You called in trouble, 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, and I will admonish you!
O Israel, if you will listen to Me!
⁹ There shall be no foreign god among you;
Nor shall you worship any foreign god.
¹⁰ I am the LORD your God,
Who brought you out of the land of Egypt;
Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

¹¹ “But My people would not heed My voice,
And Israel would have none of Me.
¹² So I gave them over to their own stubborn heart,
To 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 the LORD would pretend submission to Him,
But their fate would endure forever.
¹⁶ He would have fed them also with the finest of wheat;
And with honey from the rock I would have satisfied you.”
