Shout Aloud to God
- Shout aloud to God,
joy and strength of Isr’el;
raise your joy abroad,
strike the tambourine,
lofty anthems sing
with the harp and timbrel. - Let the trumpet sound
call for celebration.
Festive joy abound;
on the new-moon day
God’s command obey,
for his holy nation. - This our festal day,
Jacob’s God has given.
Joseph, keep his way,
for with mighty hand
God went through the land,
bringing liberation. - In a language new,
God proclaimed salvation:
“I delivered you;
set your shoulders free,
burdened hands relieved,
heard your supplication.” - “In distress you cried,
I drew near to rescue;
from the cloud replied,
in your thirst gave rest—
Meribah, the test.
I am God who saves you. - “O my people, hear,
heed my admonition;
Israel, give ear:
no false deities
shall among you be;
give them no devotion. - “I, the LORD your God,
brought you out of Egypt;
saved you from the rod.
To my grace poured out
open wide your mouth—
I will surely fill it. - “Isr’el spurned my voice;
they refused submission.
To their stubborn choice
I gave them their way
when they went astray.
O that they would listen! - “If they’d choose my word,
I their foes would conquer.
Those who hate the LORD
by his hand of pow’r
would before him cow’r,
overthrown forever. - “Then with finest wheat
God, the LORD, would feed you;
and with honey sweet
from the rock outpoured,
my abundant store,
I would satisfy you.”
