1. Rejoice out loud to God, our strength!Shout for joy to Jacob’s God!
2. Take up a song and strike the drum!Sweet lyre along with harp!
3. Blow the horn on the new moon,at the full moon, for our day of celebration!
4. Because this is the law for Israel;this is a rule of Jacob’s God.
5. He made it a decree for Josephwhen he went out against the land of Egypt,when I heard a language I did not yet know:
6. “I lifted the burden off your shoulders;your hands are free of the brick basket!
7. In distress you cried out, so I rescued you.I answered you in the secret of thunder.I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah
8. Listen, my people, I’m warning you!If only you would listen to me, Israel.
