Summary: God urges to worship Him alone, reminding of His deliverance. Despite His guidance, His people strayed, leading to their own way. Yet, He promises swift aid if they return and obey.
R. I am the Lord, your God: hear my voice.
There shall be no strange god among you
nor shall you worship any alien god.
I, the LORD, am your God
who led you forth from the land of Egypt.
R. I am the Lord, your God: hear my voice.
My people heard not my voice,
and Israel obeyed me not;
So I gave them up to the hardness of their hearts;
they walked according to their own counsels.
R. I am the Lord, your God: hear my voice.
If only my people would hear me,
and Israel walk in my ways,
Quickly would I humble their enemies;
against their foes I would turn my hand.
R. I am the Lord, your God: hear my voice.
