¹ Sing for joy to God our strength;
shout in triumph to the God of Jacob.^(b)
2 Lift up a song—play the tambourine,
the melodious lyre, and the harp.^(c)
3 Blow the horn on the day of our feasts^[a][b]
during the new moon^(d)
and during the full moon.
⁴ For this is a statute for Israel,
a judgment of the God of Jacob.^(e)
5 He set it up as an ordinance for Joseph
when He went throughout^[c] the land of Egypt.^(f)

I heard an unfamiliar language:
⁶ "I relieved his shoulder from the burden;
his hands were freed from carrying the basket.^(g)
7 You called out in distress, and I rescued you;
I answered you from the thundercloud.^(h)
I tested you at the waters of Meribah.⁽ⁱ⁾Selah
⁸ Listen, My people, and I will admonish you.
Israel, if you would only listen to Me!^(j)
9 There must not be a strange god among you;
you must not bow down to a foreign god.^(k)
10 I am Yahweh your God,
who brought you up from the land of Egypt.^(l)
Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.^(m)

¹¹ "But My people did not listen to Me;
Israel did not obey Me.^(n)
12 So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts
to follow their own plans.^(o)
13 If only My people would listen to Me
and Israel would follow My ways,^(p)
14 I would quickly subdue their enemies
and turn My hand against their foes."^(q)
15 Those who hate the Lord
would pretend submission to Him;^(r)
their doom would last forever.^(s)
16 But He would feed Israel^[d] with the best wheat.
"I would satisfy you with honey from the rock."^(t)
