1 Shout for joy to God our strength; raise a shout to the God of Jacob.
2 Lift up a song and strike the tambourine, the sweet lyre along with the harp.
3 Sound the horn at the new moon, at the full moon, for the day of our feast.
4 For this is a statute for Israel, a rule of the God of Jacob.
5 He made it a testimony in Joseph when he went out over the land of Egypt. A speech I did not know I heard:
6 "I took the load off his shoulder; his hands were set free from the basket.
7 You called in trouble, and I set you free; I answered you from the secret place of thunder; I proved you at the waters of Meribah. Selah.
8 Listen, my people, and I will warn you; Israel, if you would only hear me!
9 Let there be no foreign god among you, and do not worship an alien god.
10 I am the LORD your God, who brought you up from the land of Egypt; open wide your mouth, and I will fill it.
11 But my people did not heed my voice, and Israel was not willing to have me.
12 So I sent them off in the hardness of their hearts, to walk by their own plans.
13 If only my people were listening to me, if Israel would walk in my ways,
14 in a moment I would humble their enemies and turn my hand against their foes.
15 Those who hate the LORD would come cringing to him, and their time would be forever.
16 And he would feed them with the fat of the wheat, and with honey out of the rock I would satisfy you."
