Shout for joy to God our defender; sing praise to the God of Jacob!

Start the music and beat the tambourines; play pleasant music on the harps and the lyres.

Blow the trumpet for the festival,

This is the law in Israel, an order from the God of Jacob.

He gave it to the people of Israel when he attacked the land of Egypt. I hear an unknown voice saying,

"I took the burdens off your backs; I let you put down your loads of bricks.

When you were in trouble, you called to me, and I saved you.
2 From my hiding place in the storm, I answered you. I put you to the test at the springs of Meribah.

Listen, my people, to my warning; Israel, how I wish you would listen to me!
