LEB - Psalms - 81

81:1  Shout out to God our strength; shout joyfully to the God of Jacob.

81:2  Lift up a song and strike the tambourine, the pleasant lyre, together with the harp.

81:3  Blow the horn at new moon, at full moon, for our feast day,

81:4  because it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.

81:5  He made it a statute in Joseph when he went out against the land of Egypt, where I heard a language I did not know.

81:6  “I removed his shoulder from a burden. His hands were freed from the basket.

81:7  In this trouble you called, and I rescued you. Within the secret place of thunder I answered you; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah

81:8  Hear, O my people, and I will admonish you; O Israel, if you would but listen to me.

81:9  There shall be no strange god among you, and you shall not bow down to a foreign god.

81:10  I am Yahweh your God, who brought you up from the land of Egypt. Open wide your mouth and I will fill it.

81:11  But my people did not listen to my voice, and Israel did not yield to me.

81:12  So I let them go in the stubbornness of their heart; they walked in their counsels.

81:13  Oh that my people would listen to me; that Israel would walk in my ways.

81:14  I would subdue their enemies quickly, and turn my hand against their adversaries.

81:15  Those who hate Yahweh would cringe before him, and their fate would be forever.

81:16  But he would feed him from the choicest wheat, and I would satisfy you with honey from a rock.”
