Today is the fifth day of the week, on which the Levi'im would say in the Beis Hamikdash:
For the Conductor, upon the gittis, by Asaf.
Sing joyously to G‑d, our strength; sound the shofar to the G‑d of Jacob.
Raise your voice in song, sound the drum, the pleasant harp and the lyre.
Blow the shofar on the New Moon, on the designated day of our holiday.
For it is a decree for Israel, a ruling of the G‑d of Jacob.
He ordained it as a testimony for Joseph when he went forth over the land of Egypt; I heard a language which I did not know.
I have taken his shoulder from the burden; his hands were removed from the caldron.
In distress you called and I delivered you; I answered you from the hidden place of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Merivah, Selah.
Hear, My people, and I will admonish you; Israel, if you would only listen to Me! You shall have no strange god among you, nor shall you bow down to an alien god.
I am the L‑rd your G‑d who brought you up from the land of Egypt; open your mouth wide and I will fill it.
But My people did not heed My voice; Israel did not want Me.
So I let them go after their heart's desires; they follow their own counsels.
If only My people would listen to Me, if Israel would only walk in My ways,
then I would quickly subdue their enemies, and turn My hand against their oppressors.
Those who hate the L‑rd would shrivel before Him, and the time of their retribution would be forever.
He would feed them with the finest of wheat, and with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.
Save us, L‑rd our G‑d, and gather us from among the nations, that we may give thanks to Your holy Name and glory in Your praise.
Blessed is the L‑rd, the G‑d of Israel, to all eternity; and all the people said: Amen, praise the L‑rd.
Blessed is the L‑rd from Zion, who dwells in Jerusalem; praise the L‑rd.
Blessed is the L‑rd G‑d, the G‑d of Israel, who alone performs wonders.
Blessed is His glorious Name forever, and may the whole earth be filled with His glory, Amen and Amen.
