1 Sing merrily to God our strength,
shout for joy to the God of Jacob.
2 Take up the song and sound the timbrel,
the tuneful lyre with the harp.
3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon,
as at the full moon, upon our solemn feast day.
4 For this is a statute for Israel,
a law of the God of Jacob,
5 The charge he laid on the people of Joseph,
when they came out of the land of Egypt.
6 I heard a voice I did not know, that said:
I eased their shoulder from the burden;
their hands were set free from bearing the load.
7 You called upon me in trouble and I delivered you;
I answered you from the secret place of thunder
and proved you at the waters of Meribah.
8 Hear, O my people, and I will admonish you:
O Israel, if you would but listen to me!
9 There shall be no strange god among you;
you shall not worship a foreign god.
10 I am the Lord your God,
who brought you up from the land of Egypt;
open your mouth wide and I shall fill it.
