An exhortation to a solemn praising of God.

1 ¶ [[To the chief Musicianº ª upon² Gittith,º [A Psalm] of Asaph.]]º Sing aloudº ª unto Godº our strength:º make a joyful noiseº ª unto the Godº of Jacob.º 2 Takeº ª a psalm,º and bringº ª hither the timbrel,º the pleasantº harpº with² the psaltery.º 3 Blow upº ª the trumpetº in the new moon,º in the time appointed,º on our solemn feastº day.º

[1] Gn 50:17; Ps 18:1; 28:7; 33:1; 46:1, 11; 52:7; 66:1; 67:4; 100:1; Jr 31:7; Mt 22:32; Php 4:13.

God challengeth that duty by reason of his benefits.

4 For² this² [was] a statuteº for Israel,º [and] a lawº of the Godº of Jacob.º 5 This he ordainedº ª in Josephº [for] a testimony,º when he went outº ª through² the landº of Egypt:º [where] I heardº ª a languageº [that] I understoodº ª not.² 6 I removedº ª his shoulderº from the burden:º ² his handsº were deliveredº ª from the pots.º ² 7 Thou calledstº ª in trouble,º and I deliveredº ª thee; I answeredº ª thee in the secret placeº of thunder:º I provedº ª thee at² the watersº of Meribah.º Selah.º

God, exhorting to obedience, complaineth of their disobedience, which proveth their own hurt.

8 Hear,º ª O my people,º and I will testifyº ª unto thee: O Israel,º if² thou wilt hearkenº ª unto me; 9 There shall no² strangeº ª godº be² in thee; neither² shalt thou worshipº ª any strangeº god.º 10 I² [am] the LORDº thy God,º which broughtº ª thee out of the landº ² of Egypt:º open thy mouthº wide,º ª and I will fillº ª it. 11 But my peopleº would not² hearkenº ª to my voice;º and Israelº wouldº ª none² of me. 12 So I gave them upº ª unto their own hearts'º lust:º [and] they walked¹ ª ² in their own counsels.º 13 Oh¹ that² my peopleº had hearkenedº ª unto me, [and] Israelº had walkedº ª in my ways!º 14 I should soonº have subduedº ª their enemies,º ª and turnedº ª my handº against² their adversaries.º 15 The hatersº ª of the LORDº should have submittedº ª themselves unto him: but their timeº should have endured² for ever.º 16 He should have fedº ª them also with the finestº ² of the wheat:º and with honeyº out of the rockº ² should I have satisfiedº ª thee.
