1«To the chief Musician upon Gittith, [A Psalm] of Asaph.» Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob. 2Take the song and bring forth the timbrel, the pleasant harpe with the viole. 3Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day. 4For this is a statute for Israel, and a Law of the God of Iaakob. 5This he ordained in Joseph [for] a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: [where] I heard a language [that] I understood not. 6I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots. 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 wilt hearken unto me; 9Let there bee no strange god in thee, neither worship thou any strange god. 10I [am] the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. 11But my people would not heare my voyce, and Israel would none of me. 12So I gaue them vp vnto the hardnes of their heart, & they haue walked in their owne cousels. 13Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, [and] Israel had walked in my ways! 14I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries. 15The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever. 16He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
