1 To the chiefe musition vpon Gittith, of Asaph. Sing we meryly vnto the Lorde our strength: make a chearefull noyse vnto the Lorde of Iacob. VP

2 Take the psalterie: bryng hyther the tabret, the merie harpe, with the lute. VP

3 Blowe vp the trumpet in the newe moone, euen in the time appointed: and vpon our solempne feast day. VP

4 For this was made a statute for Israel: and a lawe of the God of Iacob. VP

5 This he ordayned in Ioseph for a testimonie, when he came out of the lande of Egypt: where I hearde a tongue whiche I knewe not. VP

6 I eased his shoulder from the burthen: and his handes ceassed from making pottes. VP

7 Thou calledst vpon me in troubles, and I deliuered thee: I hearde thee out of the middest of a thunder, I proued thee also at the waters of strife. Selah. VP

8 Then I sayd heare O my people: and I wyll geue thee a charge O Israel in protesting vnto thee. VP

9 If thou wylt hearken vnto me, there shall be no straunge God in thee: neither shalt thou geue worship to any other Lorde beside me. VP

10 I am God thy Lorde which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wyde, and I wyll fill it. VP

11 But my people woulde not heare my voyce: and Israel would not obey me. VP

12 So I gaue them vp vnto the wicked cogitations of their owne heartes: and I did let them folowe their owne imaginations. VP

13 O that my people woulde haue hearkened vnto me: O that Israel had walked in my wayes. VP

14 I should soone haue tamed their enemies: and turned myne hande against their aduersaries. VP

15 The haters of God shoulde haue ben founde liers: and their time should haue endured for euer. VP

16 He woulde haue fed them also with the finest wheate flowre: and I would haue satisfied thee with honie out of the stonie rocke. VP
