| 1. | Unto the end, for the winepresses, a psalm for Asaph himself. |
| 2. | Rejoice to God our helper: sing aloud to the God of Jacob. |
| 3. | Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel: the pleasant psaltery with the harp. |
| 4. | Blow up the trumpet on the new moon, on the noted day of your solemnity. |
| 5. | For it is a commandment in Israel, and a judgment to the God of Jacob. |
| 6. | He ordained it for a testimony in Joseph, when he came out of the land of Egypt: he heard a tongue which he knew not. |
| 7. | He removed his back from the burdens: his hands had served in baskets. |
| 8. | Thou calledst upon me in affliction, and I delivered thee: I heard thee in the secret place of tempest: I proved thee at the waters of contradiction. |
| 9. | Hear, O my people, and I will testify to thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken to me, |
| 10. | there shall be no new god in thee: neither shalt thou adore a strange god. |
| 11. | For I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. |
| 12. | But my people heard not my voice: and Israel hearkened not to me. |
| 13. | So I let them go according to the desires of their heart: they shall walk in their own inventions. |
| 14. | If my people had heard me: if Israel had walked in my ways: |
| 15. | I should soon have humbled their enemies, and laid my hand on them that troubled them. |
| 16. | The enemies of the Lord have lied to him: and their time shall be for ever. |
| 17. | And he fed them with the fat of wheat, and filled them with honey out of the rock. |
