For the music leader; in the gittith style; by Asaph.

1. Sing out in joy to God our strength!
     Shout out to the God of Jacob!
2. Lift up a song; sound the tambourine,
     the beautiful harp, and the ten-stringed instrument!
3. Blow the horn at the new moon,
     at the full moon, when our festival begins.
4. For it is a decree for Israel,
     a rule of the God of Jacob.
5. He made it a regulation in Joseph
     when he went out against the land of Egypt.
    
   I listen to a voice I had not understood:
    
6. “I relieved his shoulder of the burden;
     his hands were freed from the basket.
7. In distress you called, and I delivered you;
     I answered you from a dark thundercloud;
     I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah
    
8. Listen, O my people, while I speak earnestly to you!
     O Israel, if you would but listen to me!
9. There shall be no other god among you;
     you shall not bow down to a foreign god.
10. I am the LORD your God,
      who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
      Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11. But my people did not listen to my voice;
      Israel would not submit to me.
12. So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts,
      to do what seemed right to them.
     
13. If only my people would listen to me,
      that Israel would walk in my ways!
14. I would soon subdue their enemies
      and turn my hand against their foes.
15. Those who hate the LORD would cringe toward him,
      and they would be permanently humiliated.
16. I would feed you with the finest of the wheat,
      and with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
