 1. Praise the Eternal with a psalm;
       sing songs of praise to him!
    Play on the timbrel and the harp,
       and make a joyful noise!
    This is a statute and a law
       God has ordained for us,
    In the appointed time to keep;
       this do on God's most solemn feast!

 2. Blow on the trumpet; sing a psalm;
       make joyful noise to God!
    He has delivered us from sin,
       saved us from Egypt's land!
    We cried to God in bondage there;
       God heard and answered us;
    From thunder clouds He answered us:
       "Hear O my people, hear my words!"

 3. But His own people would not hear;
       they would not hear His voice;
    They only wanted their own way,
       following their own hearts.
    "O that My people would obey,
       walking in all my ways!
    I should have soon delivered them,
       turned my hand against their foes!"
