There shall not be, within thee, a foreign GOD, - Neither shalt thou bow down to a strange GOD:

When Israel came forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from among a people of strange tongue,

For lo! the lawless, bend the bow They have fixed their arrow upon the string, To shoot in the darkness at the upright in heart:

For this cause, will I praise thee among the nations, O Yahweh, and, to thy Name, will I sweep the strings: -

For thou wilt cause them to turn their back, Upon thy bow-strings, wilt thou make ready against their face.

Be exalted, O Yahweh, in thy strength! With song and with string will we sound forth thy power.

Now, therefore, shall my head be raised high above my foes round about me, and I will sacrifice in his tent the sacrifices of triumphant joy, I will sing and touch the strings, to Yahweh.

Sweep the strings to Yahweh, ye his men of lovingkindness, and give ye praise at the mention of his holiness.

Give ye thanks unto Yahweh with the lyre, With a harp of ten strings, make ye music unto him.

Sing unto him, a song that is new, With skill, sweep the strings, with loud noise.

Myrrh and aloes, cassias, all thy garments, - Out of the palaces of ivory, the tones of strings, have rejoiced thee.

Fixed is my heart, O God, Fixed is my heart, I will sing, and touch the strings.

Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon a harp, With resounding music on the lyre.

O let us come before his face with thanksgiving, With the sounds of strings, let us shout aloud to him.

Shout aloud to Yahweh, all the earth, Break forth and make a joyful noise and sweep the strings;

Sweep the strings to Yahweh, With the lyre, With the lyre, and the voice of melody;

Of lovingkindness and of justice, will I sing! Unto thee, O Yahweh, will I touch the strings!

I will sing to Yahweh, as long as I live! Yea I will touch the strings to my God, while I continue;

Fixed, is my heart, O God, I will sing and touch the strings, even mine honour.

O God! a new song, will I sing unto thee, - On a harp of ten strings, will I make music to thee:
