[1]Sing joyfully unto God our strength: sing loud unto the God of Jacob.
[2]Take the song and bring forth the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the viol.
[3]Blow the trumpet in the new moon, even in the time appointed, at our feast day.
[4]For this is a statute for Israel, and a Law of the God of Jacob.
[5]He set this in Joseph for a testimony, when he came out of the land of Egypt, where I heard a language, that I understood not.
[6]I have withdrawn his shoulder from the burden, and his hands have left the pots.
[7]Thou callest in affliction and I delivered thee, and answered thee in the secret of the thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.
[8]Hear, O my people, and I will protest unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me,
[9]Let there be no strange god in thee, neither worship thou any strange god.
[10]For 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 hear my voice, and Israel would none of me.
[12]So I gave them up unto the hardness of their heart, and they have walked in their own counsels.
[13]Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways.
[14]I would soon have humbled their enemies, and turned mine hand against their adversaries.
[15]The haters of the Lord should have been subject unto him, and their time should have endured forever.
[16]And God would have fed them with the fat of wheat, and with honey out of the rock would I have sufficed thee.
