2Take a psalm and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.

3Blow trumpets in the new moon in the time appointed, on our solemn feast days.

4For this was a statute for Israel and a law of the God of Jacob.

5This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony when he went out to the land of Egypt, where he heard a language that he understood not.

6I removed the yoke from his shoulder, I released his hands from the bonds.

7He called on me in trouble, and I delivered him; I sheltered him under my glorious cover; I tested him at the waters of dispute.

8Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, I will testify about you. If you will listen to me;

9There shall be no strange god in you; neither shall you worship any strange god.

10I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt; open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

11But my people would not listen to my voice; and Israel would have none of me.

12So they walked according to the desires of their own hearts and according to their own counsels.

13Oh that my people had listened to me, and Israel had walked in my ways!

14I would soon have destroyed their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.

15The haters of the LORD have lied to him; but they shall tremble for ever.

16He has fed them also with the finest of the wheat; and with honey out of the rock has he satisfied them.
