## Text

[1] Sing for joy to God our strength;
make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob. [2] Lift up a song, strike the tambourine,
play the sweet-sounding harp and lyre. [3] Sound the ram’s horn at the New Moon,
and at the full moon on the day of our Feast. [4] For this is a statute for Israel,
an ordinance of the God of Jacob. [5] He ordained it as a testimony for Joseph
when he went out over the land of Egypt,
where I heard an unfamiliar language: [6] “I relieved his shoulder of the burden;
his hands were freed from the basket. [7] You called out in distress, and I rescued you;
I answered you from the cloud of thunder;
I tested you at the waters of Meribah.
Selah [8] Hear, O My people, and I will warn you:
O Israel, if only you would listen to Me! [9] There must be no strange god among you,
nor shall you bow to a foreign god. [10] I am the LORD your God,
who brought you up out of Egypt.
Open wide your mouth,
and I will fill it. [11] But My people would not listen to Me,
and Israel would not obey Me. [12] So I gave them up to their stubborn hearts
to follow their own devices. [13] If only My people would listen to Me,
if Israel would follow My ways, [14] how soon I would subdue their enemies
and turn My hand against their foes! [15] Those who hate the LORD would feign obedience,
and their doom would last forever. [16] But I would feed you the finest wheat;
with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
