1 For the conclusion. On the wine presses. A Psalm by Asaph. Exult with joy for God our helper! Shout triumphantly for the God of Jacob!
2 Take a psalm and bring a tympanum; the sweet sounding psaltery with a kithara.
3 Sound the trumpet at the new moon; at the set day of your festival.
4 For it is a statute for Israel; a rite established by the God of Jacob;
5 as a testimony for Joseph; it pointed him out at the time of his coming out of the land of Egypt; he caused him to hear a tongue which he knew not:
6 he removed his back from burdens. His hands served at the basket.
7 [J] "In affliction thou didst call upon me, and I delivered thee. I heard thee in the secret of a tempest. I proved thee at the water of strife.
8 Hear my people and I will speak to thee. O Israel, and I will testify to thee. If thou wilt hearken to me,
9 with thee there must be no new fangled god: nor shalt thou worship a strange god,
10 for I am the Lord thy God; who brought thee up from the land of Egypt. Open thy mouth wide and I will fill it.
11 But my people did not hearken to my voice; nor did Israel attend to me.
12 Therefore I gave them up to the devices of their own hearts. Let them walk in their own devices.
13 Had my people hearkened to me; had Israel walked in my ways:
14 I would have effectually humbled their enemies; and laid my hand on those who afflicted them.
15 The enemies of the Lord should have submitted to him; and their time would have been forever:
16 and he would have fed them with the finest wheat; and satisfied them with honey from a rock."
