| 1 For the choir director; on the Gittith. A Psalm of Asaph. Sing for joy to God our strength; Shout joyfully to the God of Jacob. | 1 Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob. | 1 Sing aloud unto God our strength: Make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob. | 1 Unto the end, for the winepresses, a psalm for Asaph himself. Rejoice to God our helper: sing aloud to the God of Jacob. | 1 To the Overseer. -- 'On the Gittith.' By Asaph. Cry aloud to God our strength, Shout to the God of Jacob. | 2 Raise a song, strike the timbrel, The sweet sounding lyre with the harp. | 2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery. | 2 Raise a song, and bring hither the timbrel, The pleasant harp with the psaltery. | 2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel: the pleasant psaltery with the harp. | 2 Lift up a song, and give out a timbrel, A pleasant harp with psaltery. | 3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, At the full moon, on our feast day. | 3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day. | 3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, At the full moon, on our feast-day. | 3 Blow up the trumpet on the new moon, on the noted day of your solemnity. | 3 Blow in the month a trumpet, In the new moon, at the day of our festival, | 4 For it is a statute for Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob. | 4 For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob. | 4 For it is a statute for Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob. | 4 For it is a commandment in Israel, and a judgment to the God of Jacob. | 4 For a statute to Israel it is, An ordinance of the God of Jacob. | 5 He established it for a testimony in Joseph When he went throughout the land of Egypt. I heard a language that I did not know: | 5 This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not. | 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. | 5 He ordained it for a testimony in Joseph, when he came out of the land of Egypt: he heard a tongue which he knew not. | 5 A testimony on Joseph He hath placed it, In his going forth over the land of Egypt. A lip, I have not known -- I hear. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 6 "I relieved his shoulder of the burden, His hands were freed from the basket. | 6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots. | 6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: His hands were freed from the basket. | 6 He removed his back from the burdens: his hands had served in baskets. | 6 From the burden his shoulder I turned aside, His hands from the basket pass over. | 7 "You called in trouble and I rescued you; I answered you in the hiding place of thunder; I proved you at the waters of Meribah. Selah. | 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. | 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 | 7 Thou calledst upon me in affliction, and I delivered thee: I heard thee in the secret place of tempest: I proved thee at the waters of contradiction. | 7 In distress thou hast called and I deliver thee, I answer thee in the secret place of thunder, I try thee by the waters of Meribah. Selah. | 8 "Hear, O My people, and I will admonish you; O Israel, if you would listen to Me! | 8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me; | 8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto me! | 8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify to thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken to me, | 8 Hear, O My people, and I testify to thee, O Israel, if thou dost hearken to me: | 9 "Let there be no strange god among you; Nor shall you worship any foreign god. | 9 There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god. | 9 There shall no strange god be in thee; Neither shalt thou worship any foreign god. | 9 there shall be no new god in thee: neither shalt thou adore a strange god. | 9 There is not in thee a strange god, And thou bowest not thyself to a strange god. | 10 "I, the LORD, am your God, Who brought you up from the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide and I will fill it. | 10 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. | 10 I am Jehovah thy God, Who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. | 10 For I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. | 10 I am Jehovah thy God, Who bringeth thee up out of the land of Egypt. Enlarge thy mouth, and I fill it. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 11 "But My people did not listen to My voice, And Israel did not obey Me. | 11 But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me. | 11 But my people hearkened not to my voice; And Israel would none of me. | 11 But my people heard not my voice: and Israel hearkened not to me. | 11 But, My people hearkened not to My voice, And Israel hath not consented to Me. | 12 "So I gave them over to the stubbornness of their heart, To walk in their own devices. | 12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels. | 12 So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, That they might walk in their own counsels. | 12 So I let them go according to the desires of their heart: they shall walk in their own inventions. | 12 And I send them away in the enmity of their heart, They walk in their own counsels. | 13 "Oh that My people would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways! | 13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways! | 13 Oh that my people would hearken unto me, That Israel would walk in my ways! | 13 If my people had heard me: if Israel had walked in my ways: | 13 O that My people were hearkening to Me, Israel in My ways would walk. | 14 "I would quickly subdue their enemies And turn My hand against their adversaries. | 14 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries. | 14 I would soon subdue their enemies, And turn my hand against their adversaries. | 14 I should soon have humbled their enemies, and laid my hand on them that troubled them. | 14 As a little thing their enemies I cause to bow, And against their adversaries I turn back My hand, | 15 "Those who hate the LORD would pretend obedience to Him, And their time of punishment would be forever. | 15 The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever. | 15 The haters of Jehovah should submit themselves unto him: But their time should endure for ever. | 15 The enemies of the Lord have lied to him: and their time shall be for ever. | 15 Those hating Jehovah feign obedience to Him, But their time is -- to the age. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 16 "But I would feed you with the finest of the wheat, And with honey from the rock I would satisfy you." | 16 He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee. | 16 He would feed them also with the finest of the wheat; And with honey out of the rock would I satisfy thee. | 16 And he fed them with the fat of wheat, and filled them with honey out of the rock. | 16 He causeth him to eat of the fat of wheat, And with honey from a rock I satisfy thee! |
