2 Take ye a Psalm, the Timbrel bring To help our [joyful] melody; The pleasant Harp, and every string We'll use with [the sweet] Psaltery.
3 In the new Moon the Trumpet blow, [The time] which God, whom we obey, Appointed us this use to keep, [Even] on our solemn feast- [ing] day.
4 A statute this for Israel was, A Law which [Jacob's] God had sent;
5 To Joseph made a testimony, When he from Egypt [saved] went. He heard a speech not understood,
6 The [heavy] burdens he did bear I from his shoulders took, his hands From [making] pots delivered were.
