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.
