Sing aloud to God our strength, make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob. Raise a song and strike the timbre, the pleasant harp with the loot. Blow the trumpet at the time of the new moon, at the full moon, on our solemn feast day. For this is the statue for Israel, a law of the God of Jacob.
This he established in Joseph as a testimony, when he went throughout the land of Egypt, where I heard a language I did not understand. I removed his shoulder from the burden, his hands were free from the baskets. He called in trouble and I delivered you, I answered you in the secret place of thunder, I tested you at the waters of Meribah, Seilah. Here, O my people, and I will admonish you, O Israel, if you will listen to me, there shall be no foreign God among you, nor shall you worship any foreign God.
I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, open your mouth wide and I will feel it, but my people would not heed my voice, and Israel would have none of me. So I gave them over to their own stubborn heart, to walk in their own councils, O that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways. I would soon subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their adversaries. The haters of the Lord would pretend submission to him, but their fate would endure forever.
He would have fed them also with the finest of wheat, and with honey from the rock I would have satisfied you. God stands in the congregation of the mighty, he judges among the gods. How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked, Seilah? Defend the poor and fatherless, do justice to the afflicted and needy, deliver the poor and needy, free them from the hand of the wicked.
They do not know nor do they understand, they walk about in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are unstable. I said, you are gods, and all of you are children are the most high, but you shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. Arise, O God, judge the earth, for you shall inherit all nations.
Do not keep silent, O God, do not hold your peace, and do not be still, O God, for behold your enemies make a tumult. And those who hate you have lifted up their head, they have taken crafty counsel against your people and consulted together against your sheltered ones. They have said, come and let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more. For they have consulted together with one consent, they form a Confederacy against you, the Tins of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites, Gebel, Ammon and Amalek, Felicity with the inhabitants of Tyre.
A serie also has joined with them. They have held the children of Lot, Seilah. Deal with them as with Midian, as with Cisra, as with Jabin, at the Broakai-Shan, who perished at Indoor, who became his refuge on the earth. Make their nobles like Ora and Zeb, guess all their princes like Zeba and Zalmun, who said, let us take for ourselves the pastors of God for possession.
Oh my God, make them like a whirling dust, like a chaff before the wind, as the fire burns the woods, and as the flames sets the mountains on fire, so pursue them with your tempas and frighten them with your storm. Feel their faces with shame that they may seek your name, O Lord, let them be confounded and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be put to shame and perish, that they may know that you, whose name alone is the Lord, are the most high over all the earth.
