Sound the ram’s horn(A) at the New Moon,(B)
    and when the moon is full, on the day of our festival;
this is a decree for Israel,
    an ordinance of the God of Jacob.(C)
When God went out against Egypt,(D)
    he established it as a statute for Joseph.

I heard an unknown voice say:(E)

“I removed the burden(F) from their shoulders;(G)
    their hands were set free from the basket.
In your distress you called(H) and I rescued you,
    I answered(I) you out of a thundercloud;
    I tested you at the waters of Meribah.[a](J)
Hear me, my people,(K) and I will warn you—
    if you would only listen to me, Israel!
You shall have no foreign god(L) among you;
    you shall not worship any god other than me.
10 I am the Lord your God,
    who brought you up out of Egypt.(M)
Open(N) wide your mouth and I will fill(O) it.

11 “But my people would not listen to me;
    Israel would not submit to me.(P)
