1 [To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. {A Psalm} of Asaph.] Sing ye joyously unto God our strength, shout aloud unto the God of Jacob;

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

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

4 For this is a statute for Israel, 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.

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!

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

1 Al Músico principal: sobre Gittith: Salmo de Asaph. CANTAD á Dios, fortaleza nuestra: Al Dios de Jacob celebrad con júbilo.

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

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.

5 Por testimonio en José lo ha constituído, Cuando salió por la tierra de Egipto; Donde oí lenguaje que no entendía.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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