[1]SING aloud to God our strength; make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob.[2]Take a psalm and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.[3]Blow trumpets in the new moon in the time appointed, on our solemn feast days.[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 to the land of Egypt, where he heard a language that he understood not.[6]I removed the yoke from his shoulder, I released his hands from the bonds.[7]He called on me in trouble, and I delivered him; I sheltered him under my glorious cover; I tested him at the waters of dispute.[8]Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, I will testify about you. If you will listen to me;[9]There shall be no strange god in you; neither shall you worship any strange god.[10]I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt; open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.[11]But my people would not listen to my voice; and Israel would have none of me.[12]So they walked according to the desires of their own hearts and according to their own counsels.[13]Oh that my people had listened to me, and Israel had walked in my ways![14]I would soon have destroyed their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.[15]The haters of the LORD have lied to him; but they shall tremble for ever.[16]He has fed them also with the finest of the wheat; and with honey out of the rock has he satisfied them.
