|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 1 Sing songs to praise God, who enables us to be strong when we fight our enemies;
|
|
|
|
|
\q1 shout joyfully to God, whom we descendants of Jacob worship!
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 2 Start playing the music, and beat the tambourines;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 play nice music on the harps and lyres.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 3 Blow the trumpets during the festival to celebrate each new moon,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 each time the moon is full, and during our other festivals.

|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 4 Do that because that is a decree for us Israelite people;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 it is a command that God made for the descendants of Jacob.
|
|
|

\v 5 He made it a law under at the time when God led the descendants of Joseph out of the land of Egypt.

\v 6 "After the rulers of Egypt forced you Israelites to work as slaves,
|
2016-04-01 21:07:40 +00:00
|
|
|
\q1 I took those heavy burdens off your backs,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and I enabled you to lay down those heavy baskets of bricks that you were carrying.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 7 When you were greatly distressed, you called out to me, and I rescued you;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 I answered you out of a thundercloud.
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 Later I tested whether you would trust me to give you water when you were in the desert at Meribah.

|
|
|
|
\v 8 You who are my people, listen while I warn you!
|
|
|
|
|
\q1 I wish that you Israelite people would pay attention to what I say to you!
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 9 You must not have any idols of other gods among you;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 you must never bow to worship any of them!
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 10 I am Yahweh, your God;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 It was not any of those gods who brought you out of Egypt;
|
|
|
|
|
\q1 I am the one who did it!
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 So request what you want me to do for you, and I will do it.

\v 11 But my people would not listen to me;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 they would not obey me.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 12 So because they were very stubborn,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 I allowed them to do whatever they wanted to do.

\v 13 I wish that my people would listen to me,
|

|
|
|
\q1 that the Israelite people would behave as I want them to do.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 14 If they did that, I would quickly defeat their enemies;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 I would strike dead those who are oppressing them.

\s5

\q1
|

\v 15 Then all those who hate me would cringe before me,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and then I would punish them forever.
|

|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 16 But I would give you Israelites very good wheat,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and I would fill your stomachs with wild honey."
