Exultate Deo.
1
Sing we merrily unto
|
God our
|
strength;
||
make a cheerful
|
noise un•to the
|
God of
|
Jacob.
||
2
Take the psalm, bring
|
3
hither the
|
tabret,
||
the
|
merry
|
harp • with the
|
lute.
||
3
Blow up the trumpet
3
in
|
the new
|
moon,
||
even in the time appointed,
|
and up•on our
|
solemn
|
feast-day.
||
4
For this was made a
|
3
statute for
|
Isra•el,
||
and a
|
law • of the
|
God of
|
Jacob.
||
5
This he ordained in
|
Joseph • for a
|
testi•mony,
||
when he came out of the land of
|
Egypt, • and had
|
heard a • strange
|
language.
||
6
I eased his
|
shoulder • from the
|
burden,
||
and his hands were de-
|
3
livered from
|
3
making the
|
pots.
||
7
Thou calledst upon me in troubles, and
|
I de-
|
livered • thee;
||
and heard thee what time as the storm fell upon thee. *
8
I proved thee
|
also • at the
|
waters • of
|
strife.
||

3
Hear,
|
O my
|
people;
||
and I will assure thee, O
|
Isra•el,
|
3
if thou
•
wilt
|
hearken • unto me,
||
10
There shall no
|
strange god
|
be in • thee,
||
neither shalt thou
|
worship • any
|
other
|
god.
||
11
I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the
|
land of
|
Egypt:
||
open thy mouth
|
wide, and
|
I shall
|
fill it.
||
12
But my people would not
|
hear my
|
voice;
||
and
|
Isra•el
|
3
would not
•
o-
|
bey me;
||
13
So I gave them up unto their
|
own hearts’
|
lusts,
||
and let them
|
follow • their
|
own im•agin-
|
ations.
||
14
O that my
|
people • would have
|
hearkened • unto me!
||
for if
|
Isra•el had
|
3
walked in
•
my
|
ways,
||
15
I should soon have put
|
down their
|
ene•mies,
||
and turned my
|
hand a-
|
gainst their
|
adver•saries.
||
16
The haters of the Lord
|
should have been • found
|
liars;
||
but their
|
time • should have en-
|
dured for
|
ever.
||
16
The haters of the Lord should have sub-
|
mitted • themselves
|
unto him;
||
but their
|
time • should have en-
|
dured for
|
ever.
||
17
He should have fed them also with the
|
finest
|
wheat-flour;
||
and with honey out of the stony
|
rock should
|
I have
|
satis•fied thee.
||
17
I would have fed them also with the
|
finest
|
wheat-flour;
||
and with honey out of the stony
|
rock would
|
I have
|
satis•fied thee.
||
Glory | be • to the | Father, ||
and to the Son, | and • to the | Holy | Ghost; ||
As it | was in • the be- | ginning, ||
is now, and ever shall be, * | world with•out | end. A- | men. ||
