1 For the music director. On the gittith. A psalm of Asaph. Sing aloud to God our strength; shout for joy to the God of Jacob.

To the choirmaster - on the Gittith of Asaph. Sing for joy to God strength our shout for joy to [the] God of Jacob.

2 Start the song! Play the tambourine, sweet-sounding lyre, and harp.

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

3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, and at full moon, to begin our festivals,

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

4 for this is a rule for Israel, a regulation of the God of Jacob.

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

5 God made this statute for Joseph when he opposed the land of Egypt. I heard a voice I didn't know, saying:

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 took the load from your shoulders; I freed your hands from carrying heavy baskets.

I removed from a burden shoulder his hands his from a basket they passed away.

7 In your suffering you cried out to me, and I saved you. I answered you from the thundercloud. I tested you at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)

In trouble you called out and I rescued you I answered you in [the] hiding place of thunder I tested you at [the] waters of Meribah (Selah)

8 My people, listen to my warnings! Israel, please listen to me!

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

9 There must not be a strange god among you; you must never bow down to foreign gods and worship them.

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

10 I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt. Open your 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 didn't listen to me. Israel didn't want anything to do with me.

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

12 So I sent them away to follow their stubborn thinking, living as they chose.

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

13 If only my people would listen to me; if only Israel would follow my ways!

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

14 It wouldn't take me long to conquer their enemies, to strike down their foes.

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

15 Those who hate the Lord would cringe before him, forever doomed.

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

16 But I would feed you the best wheat and satisfy you with honey from the rock.”

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