1. Sing praises to God, our strength.Sing to the God of Jacob.
2. Sing! Beat the tambourine.Play the sweet lyre and the harp.
3. Blow the ram’s horn at new moon,and again at full moon to call a festival!
4. For this is required by the decrees of Israel;it is a regulation of the God of Jacob.
5. He made it a law for Israelwhen he attacked Egypt to set us free.I heard an unknown voice say,
6. “Now I will take the load from your shoulders;I will free your hands from their heavy tasks.
7. You cried to me in trouble, and I saved you;I answered out of the thundercloudand tested your faith when there was no water at Meribah.Interlude
