[1] <To the chiefe musition vpon Gittith, of Asaph.> Sing we meryly vnto the Lorde our strength: make a chearefull noyse vnto the Lorde of Iacob
[2] Take the psalterie: bryng hyther the tabret, the merie harpe, with the lute
[3] Blowe vp the trumpet in the newe moone, euen in the time appointed: and vpon our solempne feast day
[4] For this was made a statute for Israel: and a lawe of the God of Iacob
[5] This he ordayned in Ioseph for a testimonie, when he came out of the lande of Egypt: [where] I hearde a tongue [whiche] I knewe not
[6] I eased his shoulder from the burthen: and his handes ceassed from making pottes
[7] Thou calledst vpon me in troubles, and I deliuered thee: I hearde thee out of the middest of a thunder, I proued thee also at the waters of strife. Selah
[8] [Then I sayd] heare O my people: and I wyll geue thee a charge O Israel in protesting vnto thee
[9] If thou wylt hearken vnto me, there shall be no straunge God in thee: neither shalt thou geue worship to any other Lorde beside me
[10] I am God thy Lorde which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wyde, and I wyll fill it
[11] But my people woulde not heare my voyce: and Israel would not [obey] me
[12] So I gaue them vp vnto the wicked cogitations of their owne heartes: and I did let them folowe their owne imaginations
[13] O that my people woulde haue hearkened vnto me: O that Israel had walked in my wayes
[14] I should soone haue tamed their enemies: and turned myne hande against their aduersaries
[15] The haters of God shoulde haue ben founde liers: and their time should haue endured for euer
[16] He woulde haue fed them also with the finest wheate flowre: and I would haue satisfied thee with honie out of the stonie rocke
