For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. 1 Of Asaph.
Sing for joy to God our strength; Jer 31:7Psa 66:1Psa 100:1-2Php 4:13Psa 46:11Psa 8:1Psa 28:7Gen 50:17
make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob.
Lift up a song, strike the tambourine, Psa 149:1-3Col 3:16Psa 92:3Eph 5:19Exo 15:20Mrk 14:26Jas 5:13Psa 95:1-2
play the sweet-sounding harp and lyre.
Sound the ram’s horn at the New Moon, Lev 23:24-25Num 15:32Ch 2:42Ch 13:14Deu 16:15Num 10:1-101Ch 15:241Ch 16:42
and at the full moon on the day of our Feast.
For this is a statute for Israel,
an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
He ordained it as a testimony for Joseph 2 Deu 28:49Jer 5:15Psa 114:11Co 14:21-22Exo 11:4Exo 13:8-9Isa 28:11Psa 77:15
when he went out over the land of Egypt,
where I heard an unfamiliar language:
“I relieved his shoulder of the burden; Isa 9:4Isa 10:27Exo 6:6Mat 11:29Exo 1:14Psa 68:13
his hands were freed from the basket.
You called out in distress, and I rescued you; Exo 19:19Num 20:13Exo 2:23Psa 50:15Exo 14:10Exo 14:30-31Psa 91:14-15Exo 14:24
I answered you from the cloud of thunder;
I tested you at the waters of Meribah. 3

Hear, O My people, and I will warn you: Psa 50:7Exo 15:26Jhn 3:111Jn 5:9Isa 1:19Isa 55:3-4Jhn 3:32-33Psa 81:13
O Israel, if only you would listen to Me!
There must be no strange god among you, Isa 43:12Deu 32:121Co 8:5-6Deu 6:14Exo 20:3-5Mal 2:11Psa 44:20
nor shall you bow to a foreign god.
I am the LORD your God, Jhn 15:7Exo 20:2Psa 107:9Jhn 7:37Rev 21:6Eph 3:19-20Psa 37:3-4Rev 22:17
who brought you up out of Egypt.
Open wide your mouth,
and I will fill it.
But My people would not listen to Me, Jer 7:23-24Deu 32:18Exo 32:1Jer 2:11-13Deu 32:15Heb 10:29Pro 1:30Zec 7:11
and Israel would not obey Me.
So I gave them up to their stubborn hearts Jer 7:24Rom 1:24Isa 30:1Act 7:422Th 2:9-11Act 14:16Rom 1:26-27Jer 44:16-17
to follow their own devices.
If only My people would listen to Me, Deu 5:29Isa 48:18Deu 10:12-13Luk 19:41-42Mat 23:37Deu 32:29
if Israel would follow My ways,
how soon I would subdue their enemies Amo 1:8Jdg 2:20-23Jos 23:13Num 14:9Num 14:45Psa 47:3Zec 13:7
and turn My hand against their foes!
Those who hate the LORD would feign obedience, Deu 7:10Psa 63:3Rom 1:30Rom 8:7Exo 20:5Jol 3:20Jhn 15:22-23Psa 102:28
and their doom would last forever.
But I would feed you the finest wheat; Deu 32:13-14Psa 147:141Sa 14:25-26Jol 2:24Jdg 14:18Jdg 14:8-9Job 29:6
with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
