New International Version

1Sing for joy to God our strength; shout aloud to the God of Jacob! 2Begin the music, strike the tambourine, play the melodious harp and lyre. 3Sound the ram's horn at the New Moon, and when the moon is full, on the day of our Feast; 4this is a decree for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob. 5He established it as a statute for Joseph when he went out against Egypt, where we heard a language we did not understand. 6He says, "I removed the burden from their shoulders; their hands were set free from the basket. 7In your distress you called and I rescued you, I answered you out of a thundercloud; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah 8"Hear, O my people, and I will warn you- if you would but listen to me, O Israel! 9You shall have no foreign god among you; you shall not bow down to an alien god. 10I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth and I will fill it.
