| | 1 | To the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm of Asaph. 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." | |
