Psalm 81:3–5

Sound the ram’s horn at the New Moon,

and when the moon is full, on the day of our festival;

this is a decree for Israel,

an ordinance of the God of Jacob.

When God went out against Egypt,

he established it as a statute for Joseph.

I heard an unknown voice say:

Blow the trumpet on the day of our feasts

during the new moon

and during the full moon.

For this is a statute for Israel,

an ordinance of the God of Jacob.

He set it up as a decree for Joseph

when he went throughout the land of Egypt.

I heard an unfamiliar language:

Blow the ram’s horn at new moon,

and again at full moon to call a festival!

For this is required by the decrees of Israel;

it is a regulation of the God of Jacob.

He made it a law for Israel

when he attacked Egypt to set us free.

I heard an unknown voice say,

Blow the horn at new moon,

at full moon, for our feast day,

because it is a statute for Israel,

an ordinance of the God of Jacob.

He made it a statute in Joseph

when he went out against the land of Egypt,

where I heard a language I did not know.

Blow up the trumpet in the new moon,

In the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.

For this was a statute for Israel,

And a law of the God of Jacob.

This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony,

When he went out through the land of Egypt:

Where I heard a language that I understood not.
