Psalms Chapter 81
|

|
|
1 For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. By Asaph. Sing aloud to God, our strength! Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob!
|
|||
|
|
2 Raise a song, and bring here the tambourine, the pleasant lyre with the harp.
|
|||
|
|
3 Blow the trumpet at the New Moon, at the full moon, on our feast day.
|
|||
|
|
4 For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
|
|||
|
|
5 He appointed it in Joseph for a covenant, when he went out over the land of Egypt, I heard a language that I didn’t know.
|
|||
|
|
6 “I removed his shoulder from the burden. His hands were freed from the basket.
|
|||
|
|
7 You 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.
|

|
|
8 “Hear, my people, and I will testify to you, Israel, if you would listen to me!
|
|||
|
|
9 There shall be no strange god in you, neither shall you worship any foreign god.
|
|||
|
|
10 I am Yahweh, your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
|
|||
|
|
11 But my people didn’t listen to my voice. Israel desired none of me.
|
|||
|
|
12 So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, that they might walk in their own counsels.
|
|||
|
|
13 Oh that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways!
|
|||
|
|
14 I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn my hand against their adversaries.
|
|||
|
|
15 The haters of Yahweh would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever.
|
|||
|
|
16 But he would have also fed them with the finest of the wheat. I will satisfy you with honey out of the rock.”
