1For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. By Asaph. 2Raise a song, and bring here the tambourine, 3Blow the trumpet at the New Moon, 4For it is a statute for Israel, 5He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, 6"I removed his shoulder from the burden. 7You called in trouble, and I delivered you. 8"Hear, my people, and I will testify to you, 9There shall be no strange god in you, 10I am the LORD, your God, 11But my people did not listen to my voice. 12So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, 13Oh that my people would listen to me, 14I would soon subdue their enemies, 15The haters of the LORD would cringe before him, 16But he would have also fed them with the finest of the wheat.
