1 C antad con gozo a Dios, fortaleza nuestra; Al Dios de Jacob aclamad con júbilo.

Sing for joy to God our strength! Call out for joy to the God of Jacob!

2 E ntonad canción, y tañed el pandero, La melodiosa cítara y el arpa.

Sing a song, beat the timbrel. Play the sweet-sounding harps.

3 T ocad la trompeta en la nueva luna, En el plenilunio, en el día de nuestra fiesta solemne.

Blow the horn at the new moon, at the full moon on the day of our special supper.

4 P orque estatuto es de Israel, Ordenanza del Dios de Jacob.

For this is a Law for Israel, a Law of the God of Jacob.

5 L o constituyó como testimonio en José Cuando salió contra la tierra de Egipto. Oían una lengua desconocida;

He made it a Law for Joseph, when he went through the land of Egypt. I heard a language that I did not know:

6 A parté sus hombros de debajo de la carga; Sus manos fueron descargadas de los cestos.

“I took the load off his shoulders. His hands were set free from the basket.

7 E n la calamidad clamaste, y yo te libré; Te respondí oculto tras el trueno; Te probé junto a las aguas de Meribá. Selah

You called in your trouble, and I took you out of it. I answered you in the hiding place of thunder. I tested you at the waters of Meribah.

8 O ye, pueblo mío, y te amonestaré. ¡Oh Israel, si quisieras escucharme!

Hear, O My people, and I will tell you what to do. O Israel, if you would listen to Me!

9 N o habrá en medio de ti dios ajeno, Ni te inclinarás a dios extraño.

Let there be no strange god among you. Do not worship any false god.

10 Y o soy Jehová tu Dios, Que te hice subir de la tierra de Egipto; Abre tu boca, y yo la llenaré.

I, the Lord, am your God. I brought you out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.

11 P ero mi pueblo no oyó mi voz, E Israel no me quiso obedecer.

“But My people did not listen to My voice. And Israel did not obey Me.

12 L os entregué, por tanto, a la dureza de su corazón; Caminaron según sus propios consejos.

So I let them follow the desires of their sinful hearts. They followed their own plans.

13 ¡ Oh, si me hubiera escuchado mi pueblo, Si en mis caminos hubiera andado Israel!

If only My people would listen to Me! If only Israel would follow My ways!

14 E n un momento habría yo derribado a sus enemigos, Y vuelto mi mano contra sus adversarios.

I would hurry to crush those who fight against them. I would turn My hand against those who hate them.

15 L os que aborrecen a Jehová se le habrían sometido, Y su suerte quedaría fijada para siempre.

Those who hate the Lord would pretend to obey Him. And their punishment would last forever.

16 L es sustentaría Dios con lo mejor del trigo, Y con miel de la peña les saciaría.

But I would feed you with the best of grain. And I would fill you with honey from the rock.”
