aSing for joy
to God
our bstrength
; Shout
cjoyfully
to the dGod
of Jacob
.
Raise a song
, strike
athe timbrel
, The sweet
sounding
blyre
with the charp
.
Blow the trumpet
at the anew
moon
, At the full
moon
, on our bfeast
day
.
For it is a statute for Israel
, An ordinance
of the God
of Jacob
.
He established it for a testimony
in Joseph
When he 1 awent
throughout
the land
of Egypt
. I heard
a blanguage
that I did not know
:
"I 1 arelieved his shoulder
of the burden
, His hands
were freed
from the 2basket
.
"You acalled in trouble
and I rescued
you; I banswered
you in the hiding
place
of thunder
; I proved
you at the cwaters
of Meribah
. 1Selah
.
" aHear, O My people
, and I will 1admonish
you; O Israel
, if
you bwould listen
to Me!
"Let there be no astrange
god
among you; Nor
shall you worship
any foreign
god
.
" aI, the LORD, am your God
, Who brought
you up from the land
of Egypt
; bOpen
your mouth
wide
and I will cfill
it.
"But My people adid not listen
to My voice
, And Israel
did not 1obey
Me.
"So I agave 1them over
to the stubbornness
of their heart
, To walk
in their own devices
.
"Oh that My people
awould listen
to Me, That Israel
would bwalk
in My ways
!
"I would quickly asubdue
their enemies
And bturn
My hand
against
their adversaries
.
" aThose who hate the LORD
would bpretend
obedience
to Him, And their time
of punishment would be forever
.
" 1But I would feed you with the 2 afinest
of the wheat
, And with bhoney
from the rock
I would satisfy
you."
