Sing for Joy to God Our Strength

1To the overseer upon the stringed instrument; to Asaph. Rejoice ye in God our strength: shout to the God of Jacob.

2Lift up music, and ye shall give the drum, the pleasant harp, with the lyre.

3Strike ye the trumpet in the new in the full moon, for the day of our festival.

4For it is a law to Israel, a judgment to the God of Jacob.

5He set him a testimony in Joseph in his going forth upon the land of Egypt: I shall hear a lip I knew not.

6I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands shall past by from the basket.

7Thou calledst in straits, and I will deliver thee; I will answer thee in the hiding place of thunder. I will prove thee at the water of strife. Silence.

8Hear, O my people, and I will testify in thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hear to me;

9A strange god shall not be in thee; and thou shalt not worship to a strange god.

10I am Jehovah thy God bringing thee up from the land of Egypt: make broad thy mouth and I will fill it.

11And my people heard not to my voice; and Israel was not inclined to me.

12And I will send him forth in the hardnesses of their heart: they shall go in their counsels.

13Would that my people heard to me! Israel shall go in my ways.

14Shortly I shall humble their enemies, and against their adversaries I will turn back my hand.

15They hating Jehovah shall lie to him: and their time shall be forever.

16And he shall cause them to eat from the fat of wheat, and from the rock with honey will I satisfy thee.
