[1] Sing aloud unto God our strength: Make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.

[8] Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto me!
[9] There shall no strange god be in thee; Neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.

[12] So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, That they might walk in their own counsels.
[13] Oh that my people would hearken unto me, That Israel would walk in my ways!
[14] I would soon subdue their enemies, And turn my hand against their adversaries.
[15] The haters of Jehovah should submit themselves unto him: But their time should endure for ever.
[16] He would feed them also with the finest of the wheat; And with honey out of the rock would I satisfy thee.
