The Book of Psalms

 

Chapter 80

 

 

1.

 

Unto the end, for the winepresses, a psalm for Asaph himself.

    
 
 

2.

 

Rejoice to God our helper: sing aloud to the God of Jacob.

    
 
 

3.

 

Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel: the pleasant psaltery with the harp.

    
 
 

4.

 

Blow up the trumpet on the new moon, on the noted day of your solemnity.

    
 
 

5.

 

For it is a commandment in Israel, and a judgment to the God of Jacob.

    
 
 

6.

 

He ordained it for a testimony in Joseph, when he came out of the land of Egypt: he heard a tongue which he knew not.

    
 
 

7.

 

He removed his back from the burdens: his hands had served in baskets.

    
 
 

8.

 

Thou calledst upon me in affliction, and I delivered thee: I heard thee in the secret place of tempest: I proved thee at the waters of contradiction.

    
 
 

9.

 

Hear, O my people, and I will testify to thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken to me,

    
 
 

10.

 

there shall be no new god in thee: neither shalt thou adore a strange god.

    
 
 

11.

 

For I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

    
 
 

12.

 

But my people heard not my voice: and Israel hearkened not to me.

    
 
 

13.

 

So I let them go according to the desires of their heart: they shall walk in their own inventions.

    
 
 

14.

 

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

    
 
 

15.

 

I should soon have humbled their enemies, and laid my hand on them that troubled them.

    
 
 

16.

 

The enemies of the Lord have lied to him: and their time shall be for ever.

    
 
 

17.

 

And he fed them with the fat of wheat, and filled them with honey out of the rock.
