The text of the psalm
לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַל־הַגִּתִּית לְאָסָֽף׃
For the Leader; upon the Gittith. [A Psalm] of Asaph.
הַרְנִינוּ לֵאלֹהִים עוּזֵּנוּ הָרִיעוּ לֵאלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹֽב׃
Sing aloud unto God our strength; shout unto the God of Jacob.
שְׂאוּ־זִמְרָה וּתְנוּ־תֹף כִּנּוֹר נָעִים עִם־נָֽבֶל׃
Take up the melody, and sound the timbrel, the sweet harp with the psaltery.
תִּקְעוּ בַחֹדֶשׁ שׁוֹפָר בַּכֵּסֶה לְיוֹם חַגֵּֽנוּ׃
Blow the horn at the new moon, at the full moon for our feast-day.
כִּי חֹק לְיִשְׂרָאֵל הוּא מִשְׁפָּט לֵאלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹֽב׃
For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
עֵדוּת בִּיהוֹסֵף שָׂמוֹ בְּצֵאתוֹ עַל־אֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם שְׂפַת לֹא־יָדַעְתִּי אֶשְׁמָֽע׃
He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, when He went forth against the land of Egypt. The speech of one that I knew not did I hear:
הֲסִירוֹתִי מִסֵּבֶל שִׁכְמוֹ כַּפָּיו מִדּוּד תַּעֲבֹֽרְנָה׃
'I removed his shoulder from the burden; His hands were freed from the basket.
בַּצָּרָה קָרָאתָ וָאֲחַלְּצֶךָּ אֶעֶנְךָ בְּסֵתֶר רַעַם אֶבְחָנְךָ עַל־מֵי מְרִיבָה סֶֽלָה׃
Thou didst call in trouble, and I rescued thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah
שְׁמַע עַמִּי וְאָעִידָה בָּךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל אִם־תִּֽשְׁמַֽע־לִֽי׃
Hear, O My people, and I will admonish thee: O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto Me!
לֹא־יִהְיֶה בְךָ אֵל זָר וְלֹא תִשְׁתַּחֲוֶה לְאֵל נֵכָֽר׃
There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.
אָנֹכִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ הַמַּעַלְךָ מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם הַרְחֶב־פִּיךָ וַאֲמַּלְאֵֽהוּ׃
I am the LORD thy God, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt; open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
וְלֹא־שָׁמַע עַמִּי לְקוֹלִי וְיִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא־אָבָה לִֽי׃
But My people hearkened not to My voice; And Israel would none of Me.
וָאֲשַׁלְּחֵהוּ בִּשְׁרִירוּת לִבָּם יֵלְכוּ בְּֽמוֹעֲצוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃
So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, That they might walk in their own counsels.
לוּ עַמִּי שֹׁמֵעַ לִי יִשְׂרָאֵל בִּדְרָכַי יְהַלֵּֽכוּ׃
Oh that My people would hearken unto Me, That Israel would walk in My ways!
כִּמְעַט אוֹיְבֵיהֶם אַכְנִיעַ וְעַל צָרֵיהֶם אָשִׁיב יָדִֽי׃
I would soon subdue their enemies, And turn My hand against their adversaries.
מְשַׂנְאֵי יְהוָה יְכַחֲשׁוּ־לוֹ וִיהִי עִתָּם לְעוֹלָֽם׃
The haters of the LORD should dwindle away before Him; And their punishment should endure for ever.
וַיַּאֲכִילֵהוּ מֵחֵלֶב חִטָּה וּמִצּוּר דְּבַשׁ אַשְׂבִּיעֶֽךָ׃
They should also be fed with the fat of wheat; and with honey out of the rock would I satisfy thee.'
