Shout for Joy, to the God of
Israel!
Raise a song with tambourine and
harp,
Blow the trumpet on the day of
celebration!
Who called the world into being:
the heavens and the earth, the stars and the Sun, the waters and the air?
Oh God, You did!
Alleluia! Praise God!
Who created the plants and the animals the fish and the birds?
Who made all the peoples of the earth and made them blessed?
Oh God, You did!
Alleluia! Praise God!
Who heard the people cry out in
their distress and called on Moses to set them free?
Oh God, You did!
Alleluia! Praise God!
Who brought down the 10 plagues
on Egypt when Pharaoh's heart was hard and he would not set the people free?
Oh God, You did!
Alleluia! Praise God!
Who lead the people out of Egypt in a pillar of smoke and a pillar of fire?
Oh God, You did!
Alleluia! Praise God!
Who parted the seas when the armies of Pharaoh pursued you?
Oh God, You did!
Alleluia! Praise God!
Who lead you through the wilderness and fed you on quail and manna? Who brought forth water from the rock? Who gave you a law and a land and hope for the future?
Oh God, You did!
Alleluia! Praise God!
Who did?
Oh God, You did!
Alleluia! Praise God!
Who did?
Oh God, You did!
Alleluia! Praise God!
Then what wrong do you find in me that you go your own way? Why do you chase after worthless things and yourselves become worthless? Why do you defile the land and make my inheritance something shameful? Why do your law makers not know me and your rulers transgress against me? Why do your prophets speak for Corporations, celebrities and politicians and not for me?
My people have committed two evils:
They have forsaken me, the fountain of living water,
And have built for themselves cracked cisterns that cannot hold water.
