[For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. By Asaph.] Sing aloud to God, our strength. Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob.

2 Tomad la canción, y tañed el adufe, el arpa deliciosa con el salterio.

Raise a song, and bring here the tambourine, the pleasant lyre with the harp.

3 Tocad la trompeta en la nueva luna, en el día señalado, en el día de nuestra solemnidad.

4 Porque estatuto es de Israel, ordenanza del Dios de Jacob.

For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.

5 Por testimonio en José lo ha constituído, cuando salió por la tierra de Egipto; [donde] oí lenguaje que no entendía.

He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out over the land of Egypt, I heard a language that I did not know.

6 Aparté su hombro de debajo de la carga; sus manos se quitaron de vasijas de barro.

"I removed his shoulder from the burden. His hands were freed from the basket.

7 En la calamidad clamaste, y yo te libré: te respondí en el secreto del trueno; te probé sobre las aguas de Meriba. (Selah)

You called in trouble, and I delivered you. I answered you in the secret place of thunder. I tested you at the waters of Meribah." (Selah)

8 Oye, pueblo mío, y te protestaré. Israel, si me oyeres,

"Hear, my people, and I will testify to you, Israel, if you would listen to me.

9 No habrá en ti dios ajeno, ni te encorvarás á dios extraño.

There shall be no strange god in you, neither shall you worship any foreign god.

10 Yo soy Jehová tu Dios, que te hice subir de la tierra de Egipto: ensancha tu boca, y henchirla he.

I am the LORD, your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

11 Mas mi pueblo no oyó mi voz, é Israel no me quiso á mí.

But my people did not listen to my voice. Israel desired none of me.

12 Dejélos por tanto á la dureza de su corazón: caminaron en sus consejos.

So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, that they might walk in their own counsels.

13 ¡Oh, si me hubiera oído mi pueblo, si en mis caminos hubiera Israel andado!

Oh that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways.

14 En una nada habría yo derribado sus enemigos, y vuelto mi mano sobre sus adversarios.

I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn my hand against their adversaries.

15 Los aborrecedores de Jehová se le hubieran sometido; y el tiempo de ellos fuera para siempre.

The haters of the LORD would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever.

16 [Y Dios] lo hubiera mantenido de grosura de trigo: y de miel de la piedra te hubiera saciado.

And he would have fed him with the finest wheat, and satisfied you with honey from the rock."
