Psalms - Chapter 81 - King James Version
- Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
- Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
- Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
- For thiswasa statute for Israel,anda law of the God of Jacob.
- This he ordained in Josephfora testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt:whereI heard a languagethatI understood not.
- I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.
- Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.
- Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;
- There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.
- IamtheLORDthy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
- But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.
- So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust:andthey walked in their own counsels.
- Oh that my people had hearkened unto me,andIsrael had walked in my ways!
- I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
- The haters of theLORDshould have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.
- He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
