To the chief Musician ^{5329 , 8764} upon Gittith ¹⁶⁶⁵ , +FO A Psalm of Asaph ⁶²³ . # Sing aloud ^{7442 , 8685} unto God ⁴³⁰ our strength ⁵⁷⁹⁷ : make a joyful noise ^{7321 , 8685} unto the God ⁴³⁰ of Jacob ³²⁹⁰ . [of Asaph: or, for Asaph]

Take ^{5375 , 8798} a psalm ²¹⁷² , and bring ^{5414 , 8798} hither the timbrel ⁸⁵⁹⁶ , the pleasant ⁵²⁷³ harp ³⁶⁵⁸ with the psaltery ⁵⁰³⁵ .

Blow up ^{8628 , 8798} the trumpet ⁷⁷⁸² in the new moon ²³²⁰ , in the time appointed ³⁶⁷⁷ , on our solemn feast ²²⁸² day ³¹¹⁷ .

For this was a statute ²⁷⁰⁶ for Israel ³⁴⁷⁸ , and a law ⁴⁹⁴¹ of the God ⁴³⁰ of Jacob ³²⁹⁰ .

This he ordained ^{7760 , 8804} in Joseph ³⁰⁸⁴ for a testimony ⁵⁷¹⁵ , when he went out ^{3318 , 8800} through the land ⁷⁷⁶ of Egypt ⁴⁷¹⁴ : where I heard ^{8085 , 8799} a language ⁸¹⁹³ that I understood ^{3045 , 8804} not. [through: or, against]

I removed ^{5493 , 8689} his shoulder ⁷⁹²⁶ from the burden ⁵⁴⁴⁷ : his hands ³⁷⁰⁹ were delivered ^{5674 , 8799} from the pots ¹⁷³¹ . [were...: Heb. passed away]

Thou calledst ^{7121 , 8804} in trouble ⁶⁸⁶⁹ , and I delivered ^{2502 , 8762} thee; I answered ^{6030 , 8799} thee in the secret place ⁵⁶⁴³ of thunder ⁷⁴⁸² : I proved ^{974 , 8799} thee at the waters ⁴³²⁵ of Meribah ⁴⁸⁰⁹ . Selah ⁵⁵⁴² . [Meribah: or, Strife]

Hear ^{8085 , 8798} , O my people ⁵⁹⁷¹ , and I will testify ^{5749 , 8686} unto thee: O Israel ³⁴⁷⁸ , if thou wilt hearken ^{8085 , 8799} unto me;

There shall no strange ^{2114 , 8801} god ⁴¹⁰ be in thee; neither shalt thou worship ^{7812 , 8691} any strange ⁵²³⁶ god ⁴¹⁰ .

I am the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ thy God ⁴³⁰ , which brought ^{5927 , 8688} thee out of the land ⁷⁷⁶ of Egypt ⁴⁷¹⁴ : open thy mouth ⁶³¹⁰ wide ^{7337 , 8685} , and I will fill ^{4390 , 8762} it.

But my people ⁵⁹⁷¹ would not hearken ^{8085 , 8804} to my voice ⁶⁹⁶³ ; and Israel ³⁴⁷⁸ would ^{14 , 8804} none of me.

So I gave them up ^{7971 , 8762} unto their own hearts ³⁸²⁰ ' lust ⁸³⁰⁷ : and they walked ^{3212 , 8799} in their own counsels ⁴¹⁵⁶ . [unto...: or, to the hardness of their hearts, or, imagination]

I should soon ⁴⁵⁹² have subdued ^{3665 , 8686} their enemies ^{341 , 8802} , and turned ^{7725 , 8686} my hand ³⁰²⁷ against their adversaries ⁶⁸⁶² .

The haters ^{8130 , 8764} of the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ should have submitted ^{3584 , 8762} themselves unto him: but their time ⁶²⁵⁶ should have endured for ever ⁵⁷⁶⁹ . [submitted...: or, yielded feigned obedience: Heb. lied]

He should have fed ^{398 , 8686} them also with the finest ²⁴⁵⁹ of the wheat ²⁴⁰⁶ : and with honey ¹⁷⁰⁶ out of the rock ⁶⁶⁹⁷ should I have satisfied ^{7646 , 8686} thee. [finest...: Heb. fat of wheat]
