Sing for Joy to God Our Strength
811Sing aloud unto God our strength: Make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.+2Raise a song, and bring hither the timbrel, The pleasant harp with the psaltery.+3Blow the trumpet at the new moon, At the full moon, on our feast-day.+4For it is a statute for Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob.+5He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, When he went out over the land of Egypt, [Where] I heard a language that I knew not.+6I removed his shoulder from the burden: His hands were freed from the basket.+7Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah.[Selah+8Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto me!+9There shall no strange god be in thee; Neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.+10I am Jehovah thy God, Who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.+11But my people hearkened not to my voice; And Israel would none of me.+12So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, That they might walk in their own counsels.+13Oh that my people would hearken unto me, That Israel would walk in my ways!+14I would soon subdue their enemies, And turn my hand against their adversaries.+15The haters of Jehovah should submit themselves unto him: But their time should endure for ever.+16He would feed them also with the finest of the wheat; And with honey out of the rock would I satisfy thee.+
