1 Sing joyfully to God, our strength.
2 Begin a psalm, and strike a tambourine.
3 Blow the ram’s horn on the day of the new moon,
4 This is a law for Israel,
5 These are the instructions God set in place for Joseph
6 “I removed the burden from his shoulder.
7 When you were in trouble, you called out ⌞to me⌟, and I rescued you.
8 Listen, my people, and I will warn you.
9 Never keep any strange god among you.
10 I am the Lord your God, the one who brought you out of Egypt.
11 “But my people did not listen to me.
12 So I let them go their own stubborn ways
13 If only my people would listen to me!
14 I would quickly defeat their enemies.
15 Those who hate the Lord would cringe in front of him,
16 But I would feed Israel with the finest wheat
