2 Make a song to God our strength: make a glad cry to the God of Jacob.
3 Take up the melody, playing on an instrument of music, even on corded instruments.
4 Let the horn be sounded in the time of the new moon, at the full moon, on our holy feast-day:
5 For this is a rule for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.
6 He gave it to Joseph as a witness, when he went out over the land of Egypt; then the words of a strange tongue were sounding in my ears.
7 I took the weight from his back; his hands were made free from the baskets.
8 You gave a cry in your trouble, and I made you free; I gave you an answer in the secret place of the thunder; I put you to the test at the waters of Meribah. (Selah.)
