Psalms 81

81
1TO THE OVERSEER. ON THE GITTITH. BY ASAPH. Cry aloud to God our strength, || Shout to the God of Jacob. 2Lift up a song, and give out a timbrel, || A pleasant harp with stringed instrument. 3Blow a horn in the month, || In the new moon, at the day of our festival, 4For it [is] a statute to Israel, || An ordinance of the God of Jacob. 5He has placed it—a testimony on Joseph, || In his going forth over the land of Egypt. A lip, I have not known—I hear. 6I turned aside his shoulder from the burden, || His hands pass over from the basket. 7In distress you have called and I deliver you, || I answer you in the secret place of thunder, || I try you by the waters of Meribah. Selah. 8Hear, O My people, and I testify to you, || O Israel, if you listen to me: 9There is not in you a strange god, || And you do not bow yourself to a strange god. 10I [am] your God YHWH, || Who brings you up out of the land of Egypt. Enlarge your mouth, and I fill it. 11But My people did not listen to My voice, || And Israel has not consented to Me. 12And I send them away in the enmity of their heart, || They walk in their own counsels. 13O that My people were listening to Me, || Israel would walk in My ways. 14As a little thing I cause their enemies to bow, || And I turn back My hand against their adversaries, 15Those hating YHWH should have feigned [obedience] to Him, || And their time would last for all time. 16He causes him to eat of the fat of wheat, || And I satisfy you [with] honey from a rock!
