1 Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.

1 לַמְנַצֵּ֬חַ׀ עַֽל־הַגִּתִּ֬ית לְאָסָֽף׃

2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.

2 הַ֭רְנִינוּ לֵאלֹהִ֣ים עוּזֵּ֑נוּ הָ֝רִ֗יעוּ לֵאלֹהֵ֥י יַעֲקֹֽב׃

3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.

3 שְֽׂאוּ־זִ֭מְרָה וּתְנוּ־תֹ֑ף כִּנֹּ֖ור נָעִ֣ים עִם־נָֽבֶל׃

4 For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.

4 תִּקְע֣וּ בַחֹ֣דֶשׁ שֹׁופָ֑ר בַּ֝כֵּ֗סֶה לְיֹ֣ום חַגֵּֽנוּ׃

5 This 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.

5 כִּ֤י חֹ֣ק לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל ה֑וּא מִ֝שְׁפָּ֗ט לֵאלֹהֵ֥י יַעֲקֹֽב׃

6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.

6 עֵ֤דוּת׀ בִּֽיהֹ֘וסֵ֤ף שָׂמֹ֗ו בְּ֭צֵאתֹו עַל־אֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרָ֑יִם שְׂפַ֖ת לֹא־יָדַ֣עְתִּי אֶשְׁמָֽע׃

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.

7 הֲסִירֹ֣ותִי מִסֵּ֣בֶל שִׁכְמֹ֑ו כַּ֝פָּ֗יו מִדּ֥וּד תַּעֲבֹֽרְנָה׃

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

8 בַּצָּרָ֥ה קָרָ֗אתָ וָאֲחַ֫לְּצֶ֥ךָּ אֶ֭עֶנְךָ בְּסֵ֣תֶר רַ֑עַם אֶבְחָֽנְךָ֨ עַל־מֵ֖י מְרִיבָ֣ה סֶֽלָה׃

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

9 שְׁמַ֣ע עַ֭מִּי וְאָעִ֣ידָה בָּ֑ךְ יִ֝שְׂרָאֵ֗ל אִם־תִּֽשְׁמַֽע־לִֽי׃

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

10 לֹֽא־יִהְיֶ֣ה בְ֭ךָ אֵ֣ל זָ֑ר וְלֹ֥א תִ֝שְׁתַּחֲוֶ֗ה לְאֵ֣ל נֵכָֽר׃

11 But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.

11 אָנֹכִ֨י׀ יְה֘וָ֤ה אֱלֹהֶ֗יךָ הַֽ֭מַּעַלְךָ מֵאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרָ֑יִם הַרְחֶב־פִּ֝֗יךָ וַאֲמַלְאֵֽהוּ׃

12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels.

12 וְלֹא־שָׁמַ֣ע עַמִּ֣י לְקֹולִ֑י וְ֝יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל לֹא־אָ֥בָה לִֽי׃

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

13 וָֽ֭אֲשַׁלְּחֵהוּ בִּשְׁרִיר֣וּת לִבָּ֑ם יֵ֝לְכ֗וּ בְּֽמֹועֲצֹותֵיהֶֽם׃

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

14 ל֗וּ עַ֭מִּי שֹׁמֵ֣עַֽ לִ֑י יִ֝שְׂרָאֵ֗ל בִּדְרָכַ֥י יְהַלֵּֽכוּ׃

15 The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.

15 כִּ֭מְעַט אֹויְבֵיהֶ֣ם אַכְנִ֑יעַ וְעַ֥ל צָ֝רֵיהֶ֗ם אָשִׁ֥יב יָדִֽי׃

16 He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.

16 מְשַׂנְאֵ֣י יְ֭הוָה יְכַֽחֲשׁוּ־לֹ֑ו וִיהִ֖י עִתָּ֣ם לְעֹולָֽם׃
