81:1 For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. [A Psalm] of Asaph. Sing aloud to God our strength: Make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob.
81:2 Raise a song, and bring here the timbrel, The pleasant harp with the psaltery. 81:3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, At the full moon, on our feast-day. 81:4 For it is a statute for Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob. 81:5 He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, When he went out over the land of Egypt, [Where] I heard a language that I did not know. 81:6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: His hands were freed from the basket. 81:7 You called in trouble, and I delivered you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder; I proved you at the waters of Meribah. Selah. 81:8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify to you: O Israel, if you would listen to me! 81:9 There will be no strange god in you; Neither will you worship any foreign god. 81:10 I am Yahweh your God, Who brought you up out of the land of Egypt: Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. 81:11 But my people did not listen to my voice; And Israel did not want me. 81:12 So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, That they might walk in their own counsels. 81:13 Oh that my people would listen to me, That Israel would walk in my ways! 81:14 I would soon subdue their enemies, And turn my hand against their adversaries. 81:15 The haters of Yahweh should submit themselves to him: But their time should endure forever. 81:16 He would feed them also with the finest of the wheat; And with honey out of the rock I would satisfy you. |
