King James New American Standard Bible
  • 1 Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
  • 2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
  • 3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
  • 4 For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.
  • 5 This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.
  • 6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.
  • 7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.
  • 8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;
  • 9 There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.
  • 10 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
  • 11 But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.
  • 12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels.
  • 13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!
  • 14 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
  • 15 The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.
  • 16 He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
  • 1 Sing for joy to God our strength; Shout joyfully to the God of Jacob.
  • 2 Raise a song, strike the timbrel, The sweet sounding lyre with the harp.
  • 3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, At the full moon, on our feast day.
  • 4 For it is a statute for Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob.
  • 5 He established it for a testimony in Joseph When he went throughout the land of Egypt. I heard a language that I did not know:
  • 6 “I relieved his shoulder of the burden, His hands were freed from the basket.
  • 7 “You called in trouble and I rescued you; I answered you in the hiding place of thunder; I proved you at the waters of Meribah. Selah.
  • 8 “Hear, O My people, and I will admonish you; O Israel, if you would listen to Me!
  • 9 “Let there be no strange god among you; Nor shall you worship any foreign god.
  • 10 “I, the LORD, am your God, Who brought you up from the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.
  • 11 “But My people did not listen to My voice, And Israel did not obey Me.
  • 12 “So I gave them over to the stubbornness of their heart, To walk in their own devices.
  • 13 “Oh that My people would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways!
  • 14 “I would quickly subdue their enemies And turn My hand against their adversaries.
  • 15 “Those who hate the LORD would pretend obedience to Him, And their time of punishment would be forever.
  • 16 “But I would feed you with the finest of the wheat, And with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
