1 Sing aloud unto God our strength:

Make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.

2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel,

The pleasant harp with the psaltery.

3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon,

In the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.

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 through the land of Egypt:

Where I heard a language that I understood not.

6 I removed his shoulder from the burden:

His hands were delivered from the pots.

7 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.

8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee:

O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;

9 There shall no strange god be in thee;

Neither shalt thou worship any strange god.

10 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 hearken to my voice;

And Israel would none of me.

12 So I gave them up unto their own heart’s lust:

And they walked in their own counsels.

13 O that my people had hearkened unto me,

And Israel had walked in my ways!

14 I should soon have subdued their enemies,

And turned my hand against their adversaries.

15 The haters of the Lord should have submitted themselves unto him:

But their time should have endured for ever.

16 He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat:

And with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
