the
chief
Musician
upon
Gittith,
[A
Psalm]
of
Asaph.
Sing
aloud
unto
God
our
strength:
make
a
joyful
noise
unto
the
God
of
Jacob.
2
Take
a
psalm,
and
bring
hither
the
timbrel,
the
pleasant
harp
with
the
psaltery.
3
Blow
up
the
trumpet
in
the
new
moon,
in
the
time
appointed,
on
our
solemn
feast
day.
4
For
this
[was]
a
statute
for
Israel,
[and]
a
law
of
the
God
of
Jacob.
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.
6
I
removed
his
shoulder
from
the
burden:
his
hands
were
delivered
from
the
pots.
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,
O
my
people,
and
I
will
testify
unto
thee:
O
Israel,
if
thou
wilt
hearken
unto
9
There
shall
no
strange
god
be
in
thee;
neither
shalt
thou
worship
any
strange
god.
10
I
[am]
the
LORD
thy
God,
which
brought
thee
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt:
open
thy
mouth
wide,
and
I
will
fill
11
But
my
people
would
not
hearken
to
my
voice;
and
Israel
would
none
of
12
So
I
gave
them
up
unto
their
own
hearts’
lust:
[and]
they
walked
in
their
own
counsels.
13
Oh
that
my
people
had
hearkened
unto
me,
[and]
Israel
had
walked
in
my
ways!
14
I
should
soon
have
subdued
their
enemies,
and
turned
my
hand
against
their
adversaries.
15
The
haters
of
the
LORD
should
have
submitted
themselves
unto
him:
but
their
time
should
have
endured
for
ever.
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.
