1To the chanter upon Githith, of Asaph. Sing merrily unto God which is our strength, make a cheerful noise unto the God of Jacob.
2Take the Psalm, bring hither the taboret, the merry harp and lute.
3Blow up the trumpets in the new moon, upon our solempne feast day.
4For this is the use in Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.
5This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he came out of Egypt, and had heard a strange language.
6When he eased his shoulder from the burthen, and when his hands were delivered from the pots.
7When thou calledest upon me in trouble, I helped thee, and heard thee, what time as the storm fell upon thee, I proved thee also at the water of strife. Selah.
8Hear, O my people, for I assure thee, O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me:
9There shall no strange God be in thee, neither shalt thou worship any other God.
10I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, open thy mouth wide, and I shall fill it.
11But my people would not hear my voice, and Israel would not obey me.
12So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust, and let them follow their own imaginations.
13O that my people would obey me, for if Israel would walk in my ways:
14I should soon put down their enemies, and turn my hand against their adversaries.
15The haters of the LORD should miss Israel, but their time should endure for ever.
16He should feed them with the finest wheat flour, and satisfy them with honey out of the stony rock.
