1To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith.[1] Of Asaph. Sing aloud to God our strength; shout for joy to the God of Jacob! (تث 32:43; مز 8:1; مز 50:1; مز 66:1; مز 84:1)2Raise a song; sound the tambourine, the sweet lyre with the harp. (خر 15:20; مز 71:22)3Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the full moon, on our feast day. (لا 23:24; عد 10:10; عد 29:1)4For it is a statute for Israel, a rule[2] of the God of Jacob.5He made it a decree in Joseph when he went out over[3] the land of Egypt. I hear a language I had not known: (خر 11:4; تث 28:49; مز 77:15; مز 78:5; مز 78:67; مز 80:1; مز 114:1; مز 122:4; إر 5:15)6“I relieved your[4] shoulder of the burden; your hands were freed from the basket. (خر 1:11; إش 9:4; إش 10:27)7In distress you called, and I delivered you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. (خر 2:23; خر 14:10; خر 17:7; خر 19:19; عد 20:13; مز 18:11; مز 50:15)8Hear, O my people, while I admonish you! O Israel, if you would but listen to me! (مز 50:7)9There shall be no strange god among you; you shall not bow down to a foreign god. (خر 20:3; تث 32:12; مز 44:20; إش 43:12)10I am the Lord your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. (خر 20:2; مز 37:3)11“But my people did not listen to my voice; Israel would not submit to me. (خر 32:1; تث 32:15; تث 32:18; أم 1:25; أم 1:30)12So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts, to follow their own counsels. (تث 29:19; أي 8:4; مز 106:43; إر 7:24; مي 6:16; أع 7:42; أع 14:16; رو 1:24; رو 1:26)13Oh, that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways! (تث 5:29; تث 5:33; تث 32:29; إش 48:18)14I would soon subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their foes. (عا 1:8)15Those who hate the Lord would cringe toward him, and their fate would last forever. (مز 18:44)16But he would feed you[5] with the finest of the wheat, and with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.” (تث 32:13; تث 32:14; أي 29:6; مز 147:14; حز 16:19)
