NET BibleChristian Standard Bible
1For the music director; according to the gittith style; by Asaph. Shout for joy to God, our source of strength! Shout out to the God of Jacob! 1Sing for joy to God our strength; shout in triumph to the God of Jacob.
2Sing a song and play the tambourine, the pleasant sounding harp, and the ten-stringed instrument! 2Lift up a song--play the tambourine, the melodious lyre, and the harp.
3Sound the ram's horn on the day of the new moon, and on the day of the full moon when our festival begins. 3Blow the horn on the day of our feasts during the new moon and during the full moon.
4For observing the festival is a requirement for Israel; it is an ordinance given by the God of Jacob. 4For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
5He decreed it as a regulation in Joseph, when he attacked the land of Egypt. I heard a voice I did not recognize. 5He set it up as a decree for Joseph when he went throughout the land of Egypt. I heard an unfamiliar language:
6It said: "I removed the burden from his shoulder; his hands were released from holding the basket. 6"I relieved his shoulder from the burden; his hands were freed from carrying the basket.
7In your distress you called out and I rescued you. I answered you from a dark thundercloud. I tested you at the waters of Meribah. (Selah) 7You called out in distress, and I rescued you; I answered you from the thundercloud. I tested you at the Waters of Meribah. Selah
8I said, 'Listen, my people! I will warn you! O Israel, if only you would obey me! 8Listen, my people, and I will admonish you. Israel, if you would only listen to me!
9There must be no other god among you. You must not worship a foreign god. 9There must not be a strange god among you; you must not bow down to a foreign god.
10I am the LORD, your God, the one who brought you out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide and I will fill it!' 10I am the LORD your God, who brought you up from the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11But my people did not obey me; Israel did not submit to me. 11"But my people did not listen to my voice; Israel did not obey me.
12I gave them over to their stubborn desires; they did what seemed right to them. 12So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own plans.
13If only my people would obey me! If only Israel would keep my commands! 13If only my people would listen to me and Israel would follow my ways,
14Then I would quickly subdue their enemies, and attack their adversaries." 14I would quickly subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their foes."
15(May those who hate the LORD cower in fear before him! May they be permanently humiliated!) 15Those who hate the LORD would cower to him; their doom would last forever.
16"I would feed Israel the best wheat, and would satisfy your appetite with honey from the rocky cliffs." 16But he would feed Israel with the best wheat. "I would satisfy you with honey from the rock."
