[1]For the Leader; upon the Gittith. A Psalm of Asaph.
[2]Sing aloud unto God our strength; shout unto the God of Jacob.
[3]Take up the melody, and sound the timbrel, the sweet harp with the psaltery.
[4]Blow the horn at the new moon, at the full moon for our feast-day.
[5]For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
[6]He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, when He went forth against the land of Egypt. The speech of one that I knew not did I hear:
[7]'I removed his shoulder from the burden; His hands were freed from the basket.
[8]Thou didst call in trouble, and I rescued thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah
[9]Hear, O My people, and I will admonish thee: O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto Me!
[10]There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.
[11]I am 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 thy God, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt; open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
[12]But My people hearkened not to My voice; and Israel would none of Me.
[13]So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, that they might walk in their own counsels.
[14]Oh that My people would hearken unto Me, that Israel would walk in My ways!
[15]I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn My hand against their adversaries.
[16]The haters of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 should dwindle away before Him; and their punishment should endure for ever.
[17]They should also be fed with the fat of wheat; and with honey out of the rock would I satisfy thee.'
