1For the director of music. According to gittith. Of Asaph. Sing for joy to God our strength; shout aloud to the God of Jacob!1לַמְנַצֵּ֬חַ ׀ עַֽל־ הַגִּתִּ֬ית לְאָסָֽף׃ הַ֭רְנִינוּ לֵאלֹהִ֣ים עוּזֵּ֑נוּ הָ֝רִ֗יעוּ לֵאלֹהֵ֥י יַעֲקֹֽב׃
2Begin the music, strike the timbrel, play the melodious harp and lyre.2שְֽׂאוּ־ זִ֭מְרָה וּתְנוּ־ תֹ֑ף כִּנּ֖וֹר נָעִ֣ים עִם־ נָֽבֶל׃
3Sound the ram's horn at the New Moon, and when the moon is full, on the day of our festival;3תִּקְע֣וּ בַחֹ֣דֶשׁ שׁוֹפָ֑ר בַּ֝כֵּ֗סֶה לְי֣וֹם חַגֵּֽנוּ׃
4this is a decree for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.4כִּ֤י חֹ֣ק לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל ה֑וּא מִ֝שְׁפָּ֗ט לֵאלֹהֵ֥י יַעֲקֹֽב׃
5When God went out against Egypt, he established it as a statute for Joseph. I heard an unknown voice say:5עֵ֤דוּת ׀ בִּֽיה֘וֹסֵ֤ף שָׂמ֗וֹ בְּ֭צֵאתוֹ עַל־ אֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרָ֑יִם שְׂפַ֖ת לֹא־ יָדַ֣עְתִּי אֶשְׁמָֽע׃
6"I removed the burden from their shoulders; their hands were set free from the basket.6הֲסִיר֣וֹתִי מִסֵּ֣בֶל שִׁכְמ֑וֹ כַּ֝פָּ֗יו מִדּ֥וּד תַּעֲבֹֽרְנָה׃
7In your distress you called and I rescued you, I answered you out of a thundercloud; I tested you at the waters of Meribah.7בַּצָּרָ֥ה קָרָ֗אתָ וָאֲחַ֫לְּצֶ֥ךָּ אֶ֭עֶנְךָ בְּסֵ֣תֶר רַ֑עַם אֶבְחָֽנְךָ֨ עַל־ מֵ֖י מְרִיבָ֣ה סֶֽלָה׃
8Hear me, my people, and I will warn you-- if you would only listen to me, Israel!8שְׁמַ֣ע עַ֭מִּי וְאָעִ֣ידָה בָּ֑ךְ יִ֝שְׂרָאֵ֗ל אִם־ תִּֽשְׁמַֽע־ לִֽי׃
9You shall have no foreign god among you; you shall not worship any god other than me.9לֹֽא־ יִהְיֶ֣ה בְ֭ךָ אֵ֣ל זָ֑ר וְלֹ֥א תִ֝שְׁתַּחֲוֶ֗ה לְאֵ֣ל נֵכָֽר׃
10I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth and I will fill it.10אָנֹכִ֨י ׀ יְה֘וָ֤ה אֱלֹהֶ֗יךָ הַֽ֭מַּעַלְךָ מֵאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרָ֑יִם הַרְחֶב־ פִּ֝֗יךָ וַאֲמַלְאֵֽהוּ׃
11"But my people would not listen to me; Israel would not submit to me.11וְלֹא־ שָׁמַ֣ע עַמִּ֣י לְקוֹלִ֑י וְ֝יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל לֹא־ אָ֥בָה לִֽי׃
12So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.12וָֽ֭אֲשַׁלְּחֵהוּ בִּשְׁרִיר֣וּת לִבָּ֑ם יֵ֝לְכ֗וּ בְּֽמוֹעֲצוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃
13"If my people would only listen to me, if Israel would only follow my ways,13ל֗וּ עַ֭מִּי שֹׁמֵ֣עַֽ לִ֑י יִ֝שְׂרָאֵ֗ל בִּדְרָכַ֥י יְהַלֵּֽכוּ׃
14how quickly I would subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their foes!14כִּ֭מְעַט אוֹיְבֵיהֶ֣ם אַכְנִ֑יעַ וְעַ֥ל צָ֝רֵיהֶ֗ם אָשִׁ֥יב יָדִֽי׃
15Those who hate the LORD would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever.15מְשַׂנְאֵ֣י יְ֭הוָה יְכַֽחֲשׁוּ־ ל֑וֹ וִיהִ֖י עִתָּ֣ם לְעוֹלָֽם׃
16But you would be fed with the finest of wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you."16וַֽ֭יַּאֲכִילֵהוּ מֵחֵ֣לֶב חִטָּ֑ה וּ֝מִצּ֗וּר דְּבַ֣שׁ אַשְׂבִּיעֶֽךָ׃
