Psalms 81
81
For the Music Director. According to The Gittith. A Psalm of Asaph.
1Sing aloud to God our strength;
make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob. # Ps 66:1
2Raise a song, sound the tambourine, # Ex 15:20
the pleasant lyre with the harp. # Ps 92:3
3Blow the trumpet at the New Moon,
at the full moon on our feast day.
4For this is a statute for Israel,
a decree of the God of Jacob.
5He made it a decree in Joseph
when He went throughout the land of Egypt.
I heard a language that I had not known: # Dt 28:49; Ps 114:1
6“I removed his shoulder from the burden; # Isa 9:4; 10:27
his hands were freed from the basket.
7You called in trouble, and I delivered you; # Ex 2:23
I answered you in the secret place of thunder; # Ex 19:19
I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah
8Hear, O My people, and I will admonish you. # Ps 50:7
O Israel, if you would listen to me!
9There shall be no strange god among you;
nor shall you bow down to any foreign god. # Dt 32:12; Isa 43:12
10I am the Lord your God,
who brought you out of the land of Egypt; # Ex 20:2
open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. # Ps 37:3–4
11“But My people would not listen to My voice;
Israel would not submit to Me. # Ex 32:1; Dt 32:15
12So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts, # Ac 7:42; Ro 1:24
to walk in their own counsels.
13“Oh, that My people would listen to Me, # Dt 5:29; Isa 48:18
and Israel would walk in My ways!
14I would soon subdue their enemies,
and turn My hand against their adversaries. # Am 1:8
15Those who hate the Lord would pretend submission before Him, # Ro 1:30
but their punishment would endure forever.
16I would feed you # 81:16 Hb He would feed him with the finest of the wheat,
and with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.” # Dt 32:13–14; Ps 147:14
