לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַל הַגִּתִּית לְאָסָף:
For the conductor, on the gittith, of Asaph.
הַרְנִינוּ לֵאלֹהִים עוּזֵּנוּ הָרִיעוּ לֵאלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב:
Sing praises to the God Who is our might, sound the shofar to the God of Jacob.
שְׂאוּ זִמְרָה וּתְנוּ תֹף כִּנּוֹר נָעִים עִם נָבֶל:
Raise [your voice in] song and give forth [with] a timbrel, a pleasant harp with a lyre.
תִּקְעוּ בַחֹדֶשׁ שׁוֹפָר בַּכֵּסֶה לְיוֹם חַגֵּנוּ:
Sound the shofar on the New Moon, on the appointed time for the day of our festival.
כִּי חֹק לְיִשְׂרָאֵל הוּא מִשְׁפָּט לֵאלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב:
For it is a statute for Israel, the judgment of the God of Jacob.
עֵדוּת בִּיהוֹסֵף שָׂמוֹ בְּצֵאתוֹ עַל אֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם שְׂפַת לֹא יָדַעְתִּי אֶשְׁמָע:
As a testimony for Jehoseph, He ordained it, when he went forth over the land of Egypt, [when] I understood a language that I had not known.
הֲסִירוֹתִי מִסֵּבֶל שִׁכְמוֹ כַּפָּיו מִדּוּד תַּעֲבֹרְנָה:
I removed his shoulder from burdens; his hands were removed from the cauldron.
בַּצָּרָה קָרָאתָ וָאֲחַלְּצֶךָּ אֶעֶנְךָ בְּסֵתֶר רַעַם אֶבְחָנְךָ עַל מֵי מְרִיבָה סֶלָה:
In distress, you called and I released you; I answered you-[though you called] in secret- with thunder; I tried you by the waters of Meribah, forever.
שְׁמַע עַמִּי וְאָעִידָה בָּךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל אִם תִּשְׁמַע לִי:
Hearken, My people, and I shall admonish you, Israel, if you hearken to Me.
לֹא יִהְיֶה בְךָ אֵל זָר וְלֹא תִשְׁתַּחֲוֶה לְאֵל נֵכָר:
No strange god shall be within you, neither shall you prostrate yourself to a foreign god.
אָנֹכִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ הַמַּעַלְךָ מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם הַרְחֶב פִּיךָ וַאֲמַלְאֵהוּ:
I am the Lord, your God, Who brought you up from the land of Egypt; open your mouth wide, and I shall fill it.
וְלֹא שָׁמַע עַמִּי לְקוֹלִי וְיִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא אָבָה לִי:
But My people did not hearken to My voice, neither did Israel desire to [follow] Me.
וָאֲשַׁלְּחֵהוּ בִּשְׁרִירוּת לִבָּם יֵלְכוּ בְּמוֹעֲצוֹתֵיהֶם:
So I let them go after their heart's fantasies; let them go in their counsels.
לוּ עַמִּי שֹׁמֵעַ לִי יִשְׂרָאֵל בִּדְרָכַי יְהַלֵּכוּ:
If only My people would hearken to Me, if Israel would go in My ways.
כִּמְעַט אוֹיְבֵיהֶם אַכְנִיעַ וְעַל צָרֵיהֶם אָשִׁיב יָדִי:
In a short time I would subdue their enemies and upon their enemies I would return My hand.
מְשַׂנְאֵי יְהוָה יְכַחֲשׁוּ לוֹ וִיהִי עִתָּם לְעוֹלָם:
The enemies of the Lord would lie to Him, and their time would be forever.
וַיַּאֲכִילֵהוּ מֵחֵלֶב חִטָּה וּמִצּוּר דְּבַשׁ אַשְׂבִּיעֶךָ:
Then He would feed them with the fat of wheat and I would sate you with honey from a rock.
