Sing aloud to God our strength Shout for joy to the God of Jacob Sing aloud to God
our strength, Shout for joy to the God of Jacob.
Raise a song, strike the timbrel, The sweet lyre with the harp.
Blow the trumpet at the new moon, And the full moon of our feast.
For it is a law in Israel, An ordinance of Jacob's God.
For he made the decree in Joseph, When he went out against Egypt.
Sing aloud to God our strength, Shout for joy to the God of Jacob.
I heard a voice I did not know.
I relieved your shoulders' burden, Freed your hands from the load.
When you called in grief, I saved you, Answered where the thunder hides.
Testing you at Meribah's waters, My people I urged to hear.
Oh, if you would only listen, Unto me, O Israel.
Sing aloud to God our strength, Shout for joy to the God of Jacob.
Among you have no strange God, To a foreign god don't bow.
I'm the Lord your God who brought you Up and out of Egypt's land.
Open wide your mouth, I'll fill it, But my voice they would not heed.
For my people, Israel, They desired none of me.
So I left them with stubborn hearts, Let them follow their own plans.
Oh, that they would listen to me, Israel, walk within my paths.
I would soon subdue their enemies, Turn my hand against their foes.
I would feed with finest wheat, And with honey from the rock.
Sing aloud to God our strength, Shout for joy to the God of Jacob.
