Psalms 81
- 1Sing aloud to God our strength: make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob.
- 2Take a psalm, and bring here the tambourine, the pleasant lyre with the harp.
- 3Blow the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
- 4For this was a decree for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.
- 5This he appointed in Joseph as a decree, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I did not understand.
- 6I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.
- 7You called in trouble, and I delivered you. I answered you in the secret place of thunder: I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah.
- 8Hear, O my people, and I will testify to you: O Israel, if you will listen to me.
- 9There shall no strange god be in you. Neither shall you worship any strange god.
- 10I am the Lord your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt: open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
- 11But my people would not listen to my voice, and Israel wanted nothing to do with me.
- 12So I gave them up to their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own plans.
- 13Oh, if only my people had listened to me, and Israel had walked in my ways!
- 14I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their enemies.
- 15The haters of the Lord should have submitted themselves to him: but their time should have endured for ever.
- 16He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied you.
