1  Sing aloud to God our strength;

^kshout for joy to the God of Jacob!

2  Raise a song; sound the tambourine,

the sweet lyre with the harp.

3  ^lBlow the trumpet at the ^mnew moon,

at the full moon, on our feast day.

4  For it is a statute for Israel,

a rule² of the God of Jacob.

5  He made it a decree in Joseph

when he went out over³ the land of Egypt.

I hear a language I had not known:

6  “I relieved your⁴ shoulder of the ⁿburden;

your hands were freed from the basket.

7  ^oIn distress you ^pcalled, and I delivered you;

I answered you in the secret place of thunder;

I tested you ^qat the waters of Meribah. Selah
