3 Take up a melody, sound the timbrel,the pleasant lyre with a harp.
4 Blow the shofar at the new moon,at the full moon, on our solemn feast.
5 For this is a law for Israel,an edict of the God of Jacob,
6 He made it a decree for Josephwhen he came out of the land of Egypt.
7 I heard a tongue I did not know:“I removed his shoulder from the burden;his hands moved away from the basket.
8 In distress you called and I rescued you;I answered you in secret with thunder;At the waters of Meribah I tested you:
9 ‘Listen, my people, I will testify against youSelahIf only you will listen to me, Israel!
