1 For the one directing. According to Gittith. Of Asaph. <span class=|reftext|><a href=|#|><b>1</b></a> Ring out [praise] to God our strength; shout [for joy] to the God of Jacob!10 I [am] YHWH your God, who brought you out from the land of Egypt; open wide your mouth, and I will fill it.11 My people would not listen to My voice, and Israel has not consented to Me.12 And I sent them away in the stubbornness of their hearts, to walk by their own counsels.13 If only My people would listen to Me, Israel would walk in My ways!14 In a moment I would subdue their enemies, and over their adversaries I would turn back My hand.15 Those hating YHWH would feign obedience before Him, and their time would be forever.16 And He would feed him of the fat of wheat, and [with] honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”2 Lift up a melody and strike the timbrel, the sweet-sounding harp with the lute.3 Blow the shofar on the new moon, on the full moon at the day of our Feast.4 For it [is] a statute, O Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.5 [As] a testimony He established it in Joseph, in His going forth over the land of Egypt. I heard a language [that] I did not know:6 “I turned aside his shoulder from the burden; his hands pass over from the basket.7 In the [time of] distress you called, and I drew you out; I answered you in the secret place of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah8 hear, O My people, and I will testify against you—O Israel, if you would listen to Me!9 There shall not be among you a strange god, and you shall not bow down to foreign god.
