1Sing praises to God, our strength. Sing to the God of Jacob.1For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. Of Asaph. Sing for joy to God our strength; make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob.
2Sing! Beat the tambourine. Play the sweet lyre and the harp.2Lift up a song, strike the tambourine, play the sweet-sounding harp and lyre.
3Blow the ram’s horn at new moon, and again at full moon to call a festival!3Sound the ram’s horn at the New Moon, and at the full moon on the day of our Feast.
4For this is required by the decrees of Israel; it is a regulation of the God of Jacob.4For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
5He made it a law for Israel when he attacked Egypt to set us free. I heard an unknown voice say,5He ordained it as a testimony for Joseph when he went out over the land of Egypt, where I heard an unfamiliar language:
6“Now I will take the load from your shoulders; I will free your hands from their heavy tasks.6“I relieved his shoulder of the burden; his hands were freed from the basket.
7You cried to me in trouble, and I saved you; I answered out of the thundercloud and tested your faith when there was no water at Meribah. Interlude7You 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“Listen to me, O my people, while I give you stern warnings. O Israel, if you would only listen to me!8Hear, O My people, and I will warn you: O Israel, if only you would listen to Me!
9You must never have a foreign god; you must not bow down before a false god.9There must be no strange god among you, nor shall you bow to a foreign god.
10For it was I, the LORD your God, who rescued you from the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it with good things.10I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth, and I will fill it.
11“But no, my people wouldn’t listen. Israel did not want me around.11But My people would not listen to Me, and Israel would not obey Me.
12So I let them follow their own stubborn desires, living according to their own ideas.12So I gave them up to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.
13Oh, that my people would listen to me! Oh, that Israel would follow me, walking in my paths!13If only My people would listen to Me, if Israel would follow My ways,
14How quickly I would then subdue their enemies! How soon my hands would be upon their foes!14how soon I would subdue their enemies and turn My hand against their foes!
15Those who hate the LORD would cringe before him; they would be doomed forever.15Those who hate the LORD would feign obedience, and their doom would last forever.
16But I would feed you with the finest wheat. I would satisfy you with wild honey from the rock.”16But I would feed you the finest wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
