psalms 81

1 - 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 testimony,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 The LORD, 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 the LORD 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."
