2 Raise a song, and sound the tambour, the pleasant harp with the lute.

Lift up music and beat a tambourine a harp pleasant with a lyre.

3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the set time, on our feast day:

Blow at the new moon a ram's horn at the full moon to [the] day of festival our.

4 For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob;

For [is] a decree for Israel it an ordinance of [the] God of Jacob.

5 He ordained it in Joseph [for] a testimony, when he went forth over the land of Egypt, [where] I heard a language that I knew not.

A testimony - in Joseph he established it when went out he on [the] land of Egypt a language [which] not I knew I heard.

6 I removed his shoulder from the burden; his hands were freed from the basket.

7 Thou 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)

8 Hear, my people, and I will testify unto thee; O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto me!

Listen O people my so let me warn you O Israel if you will listen to me.

9 There shall no strange god be in thee, neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.

Not it will be among you a god strange and not you must bow down to a god of foreignness.

10 I am Jehovah thy God, that brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

I - [am] Yahweh God your who brought up you from [the] land of Egypt make large mouth your and I will fill it.

11 But my people hearkened not to my voice, and Israel would none of me.

And not it listened people my to voice my and Israel not it yielded to me.

12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' stubbornness: they walked after their own counsels.

And I gave over it in [the] stubbornness of heart their they walked in own schemes their.

13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, that Israel had walked in my ways!

If people my [will be] listening to me Israel in ways my they will walk.

14 I would soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.

Like a little enemies their I will subdue and on opponents their I will turn hand my.

15 The haters of Jehovah would have come cringing unto him; but their time would have been for ever.

[those who] hate Yahweh They will cringe to him and may it be time their for ever.

16 And he would have fed them with the finest of wheat; yea, with honey out of the rock would I have satisfied thee.

And he fed him from [the] best of [the] wheat and from a rock honey I will satisfy you.
