2. Raise a song and strike the timbrel, The pleasant harp with the lute. | |
3. Blow the trumpet at the time of the New Moon, At the full moon, on our solemn feast day. | |
4. For this is a statute for Israel, A law of the God of Jacob. | |
5. This He established in Joseph as a testimony, When He went throughout the land of Egypt, Where I heard a language I did not understand. | |
6. "I removed his shoulder from the burden; His hands were freed from the baskets. | |
7. You called in trouble, and I delivered you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah | |
8. "Hear, O My people, and I will admonish you! O Israel, if you will listen to Me! | |
9. There shall be no foreign god among you; Nor shall you worship any foreign god. | |
10. I am the Lord your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. | |

12. So I gave them over to their own stubborn heart, To walk in their own counsels. | |
13. "Oh, that My people would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways! | |
14. I would soon subdue their enemies, And turn My hand against their adversaries. | |
15. The haters of the Lord would pretend submission to Him, But their fate would endure forever. | |
16. He would have fed them also with the finest of wheat; And with honey from the rock I would have satisfied you." |
