1 | Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the
God of Jacob. |
|
2 | Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp
with the psaltery. |
|
3 | Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on
our solemn feast day. |
|
4 | For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of
Jacob. |
|
5 | This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out
through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I
understood not. |
|
6 | I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were
delivered from the pots. |
|
7 | Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered
thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the
waters of Meribah. Selah. |
|
8 | Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if
thou wilt hearken unto me; |
|
9 | There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou
worship any strange god. |
|
10 | I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of
Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. |
|
11 | But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would
none of me. |
|
12 | So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked
in their own counsels. |
|
13 | Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked
in my ways! |
|
14 | I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand
against their adversaries. |
|
15 | The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto
him: but their time should have endured for ever. |
|
16 | He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and
with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee. |
