CPDV - Psalms - 80

80:1  Unto the end. For the wine and oil presses. A Psalm of Asaph himself.

80:2  Exult before God our helper. Sing joyfully to the God of Jacob.

80:3  Take up a psalm, and bring forth the timbrel: a pleasing Psalter with stringed instruments.

80:4  Sound the trumpet at the new moon, on the noteworthy day of your solemnity,

80:5  for it is a precept in Israel and a judgment for the God of Jacob.

80:6  He set it as a testimony with Joseph, when he went out of the land of Egypt. He heard a tongue that he did not know.

80:7  He turned the burdens away from his back. His hands had been a slave to baskets.

80:8  You called upon me in tribulation, and I freed you. I heard you within the hidden tempest. I tested you with waters of contradiction.

80:9  My people, listen and I will call you to testify. If, O Israel, you will pay heed to me,

80:10  then there will be no new god among you, nor will you adore a foreign god.

80:11  For I am the Lord your God, who led you out of the land of Egypt. Widen your mouth, and I will fill it.

80:12  But my people did not hear my voice, and Israel was not attentive to me.

80:13  And so, I sent them away, according to the desires of their heart. They will go forth according to their own inventions.

80:14  If my people had heard me, if Israel had walked in my ways,

80:15  I would have humbled their enemies, as if it were nothing, and I would have sent my hand upon those who troubled them.

80:16  The enemies of the Lord have lied to him, and their time will come, in every age.

80:17  And he fed them from the fat of the grain, and he saturated them with honey from the rock.
