If we had forgotten the name of our God
Or stretched out our hands to a strange god,

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

When Israel came out of Egypt,
The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

How can we sing the Lord’s song
In a strange and foreign land?

Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre;
Sing praises to Him with the harp of ten strings.

Sing to Him a new song;
Play skillfully [on the strings] with a loud and joyful sound.

With an instrument of ten strings and with the harp,
With a solemn sound on the lyre.

I will sing a new song to You, O God;
Upon a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You,

If a man does not repent, God will sharpen His sword;
He has strung and bent His [mighty] bow and made it ready.

For look, the wicked are bending the bow;
They take aim with their arrow on the string
To shoot [by stealth] in darkness at the upright in heart.
