1 Sing aloud to God our strength,
2Raise a song, sound the timbrel,
3On the new moon blow the horn,
4For this is a statute for Israel,
5a witness he set up in Joseph,
6“I removed from your shoulder the burden,
7At your call of distress I delivered you,
8Listen, my people, to my warning,
9‘There must not be a strange god among you,
10I am the LORD your God
11But my people did not listen to my voice,
12So to their own hard hearts I left them,
13O that my people would listen,
14Soon would I humble their enemies,
15Those who hate the LORD would cringe before him
16But you would I feed with the richest wheat,
