1 Sing for joy to God our strength;shout aloud to the God of Jacob!
2 Begin the music, strike the tambourine,play the melodious harp and lyre.
3 Sound the ram’s horn at the New Moon,and when the moon is full, on the day of our Feast;
4 this is a decree for Israel,an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
5 When God went out against Egypt,he established it as a statute for Joseph.I heard an unknown voice say:
6 ‘I removed the burden from their shoulders;their hands were set free from the basket.
7 In your distress you called and I rescued you,I answered you out of a thundercloud;I tested you at the waters of Meribah.
