| 1. | {To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. A Psalm of Asaph.} |
| 2. | Sing ye joyously unto God our strength, shout aloud unto the God of Jacob; |
| 3. | Raise a song, and sound the tambour, the pleasant harp with the lute. |
| 4. | Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the set time, on our feast day: |
| 5. | For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob; |
| 6. | He ordained it in Joseph for a testimony, when he went forth over the land of Egypt, where I heard a language that I knew not. |
| 7. | I removed his shoulder from the burden; his hands were freed from the basket. |
| 8. | 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. |
| 9. | Hear, my people, and I will testify unto thee; O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto me! |
| 10. | There shall no strange łgod be in thee, neither shalt thou worship any foreign łgod. |
| 11. | I am Jehovah thy God, that brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. |
| 12. | But my people hearkened not to my voice, and Israel would none of me. |
| 13. | So I gave them up unto their own hearts` stubbornness: they walked after their own counsels. |
| 14. | Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, that Israel had walked in my ways! |
| 15. | I would soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries. |
| 16. | The haters of Jehovah would have come cringing unto him; but their time would have been for ever. |
| 17. | And he would have fed them with the finest of wheat; yea, with honey out of the rock would I have satisfied thee. |
