English Translation

For the leader; on the gittith. Of Asaph. Sing joyously to God, our strength;
raise a shout for the God of Jacob. Take up the song,
sound the hand-drum,
the melodious lyre and harp. Blow the horn on the new moon,
on the full moon for our feast day. For it is a law for Israel,
a ruling of the God of Jacob— imposed as a decree upon Joseph
when he went forth fromahe went forth from Or “[God] went forth against.” the land of Egypt;
I heard a language that I knew not. “I relieved his shoulder of the burden,
his hands were freed from the basket. In distress you called and I rescued you;
I answered you from the secret place of thunderbsecret place of thunder Meaning of Heb. uncertain.
I tested you at the Waters of Meribah.    Selah. Hear, My people, and I will admonish you;
Israel, if you would but listen to Me! You shall have no foreign god,
you shall not bow to an alien god. I the ETERNAL am your God
who brought you out of the land of Egypt;
open your mouth wide and I will fill it. But My people would not listen to Me,
Israel would not obey Me. So I let them go after their willful heart
that they might follow their own devices. If only My people would listen to Me,
if Israel would follow My paths, then would I subdue their enemies at once,
strike their foes again and again.” Those who hate GOD shall cower;
their doom shall be eternal. [God] fed IsraelcIsrael Heb. “him.” the finest wheat;
“I sated you with honey from the rock.”
