1 Sing aloud unto God our strength: Make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
         
                                
                        2 Raise a song, and bring hither the timbrel, The pleasant harp with the psaltery.
         
                                
                        3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, At the full moon, on our feast-day.
         
                                
                        4 For it is a statute for Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob.
         
                                
                        5 He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, When he went out over the land of Egypt, [Where] I heard a language that I knew not.
         
                                
                        6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: His hands were freed from the basket.
         
                                
                        7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah.     Selah
