³ Blow the trumpet at the time of the New Moon,
At the full moon, on our solemn feast day.
⁴ For ^(B)this is a statute for Israel,
A law of the God of Jacob.
⁵ This He established in Joseph as a testimony,
When He went throughout the land of Egypt,
^(C)Where I heard a language I did not understand.

⁶ “I removed his shoulder from the burden;
His hands were freed from the baskets.
^7 (D)You called in trouble, and I delivered you;
^(E)I answered you in the secret place of thunder;
I ^(F)tested you at the waters of ^[b]Meribah. Selah

⁸ “Hear,^(G) O My people, and I will admonish you!
O Israel, if you will listen to Me!
⁹ There shall be no ^(H)foreign god among you;
Nor shall you worship any foreign god.
^10 (I)I am the Lord your God,
Who brought you out of the land of Egypt;
^(J)Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

¹¹ “But My people would not heed My voice,
And Israel would have ^(K)none of Me.
^12 (L)So I gave them over to ^[c]their own stubborn heart,
To walk in their own counsels.

¹³ “Oh,^(M) that My people would listen to Me,
That Israel would walk in My ways!
¹⁴ I would soon subdue their enemies,
And turn My hand against their adversaries.
^15 (N)The haters of the Lord would pretend submission to Him,
But their ^[d]fate would endure forever.
¹⁶ He would ^(O)have fed them also with ^[e]the finest of wheat;
And with honey ^(P)from the rock I would have satisfied you.”

³ For my soul is full of troubles,
And my life ^(C)draws near to the grave.
⁴ I am counted with those who ^(D)go^[c] down to the pit;
^(E)I am like a man who has no strength,
^5 [d]Adrift among the dead,
Like the slain who lie in the grave,
Whom You remember no more,
And who are cut off from Your hand.

⁶ You have laid me in the lowest pit,
In darkness, in the depths.
⁷ Your wrath lies heavy upon me,
And You have afflicted me with all ^(F)Your waves. Selah
^8 (G)You have ^[e]put away my acquaintances far from me;
You have made me an abomination to them;
^(H)I am shut up, and I cannot get out;
⁹ My eye wastes away because of affliction.

^(I)Lord, I have called daily upon You;
I have stretched out my hands to You.
¹⁰ Will You work wonders for the dead?
Shall ^[f]the dead arise and praise You? Selah
¹¹ Shall Your lovingkindness be declared in the grave?
Or Your faithfulness in the place of destruction?
¹² Shall Your wonders be known in the dark?
And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

¹³ But to You I have cried out, O Lord,
And in the morning my prayer comes before You.
¹⁴ Lord, why do You cast off my soul?
Why do You hide Your face from me?
¹⁵ I have been afflicted and ready to die from my youth;
I suffer Your terrors;
I am distraught.
¹⁶ Your fierce wrath has gone over me;
Your terrors have ^[g]cut me off.
¹⁷ They came around me all day long like water;
They engulfed me altogether.
^18 (J)Loved one and friend You have put far from me,
And my acquaintances into darkness.
