For the choir director; on the Gittith. A Psalm of Asaph.
Sing for joy to God our strength;
Shout joyfully to the God of Jacob.

“I, the Lord, am your God,
Who brought you up from the land of Egypt;
Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.

Blow the trumpet at the new moon,
At the full moon, on our feast day.

“But My people did not listen to My voice,
And Israel did not obey Me.

“But I would feed you with the finest of the wheat,
And with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”

“You called in trouble and I rescued you;
I answered you in the hiding place of thunder;
I proved you at the waters of Meribah. Selah.

“Oh that My people would listen to Me,
That Israel would walk in My ways!

“So I gave them over to the stubbornness of their heart,
To walk in their own devices.

Raise a song, strike the timbrel,
The sweet sounding lyre with the harp.

“Hear, O My people, and I will admonish you;
O Israel, if you would listen to Me!

“I relieved his shoulder of the burden,
His hands were freed from the basket.

For it is a statute for Israel,
An ordinance of the God of Jacob.

“Let there be no strange god among you;
Nor shall you worship any foreign god.

He established it for a testimony in Joseph
When he went throughout the land of Egypt.
I heard a language that I did not know:

“Those who hate the Lord would pretend obedience to Him,
And their time of punishment would be forever.

“I would quickly subdue their enemies
And turn My hand against their adversaries.
