The Book of Psalms

 

Chapter 81

 

 

1.

 

To the Overseer. -- 'On the Gittith.' By Asaph. Cry aloud to God our strength, Shout to the God of Jacob.

    
 
 

2.

 

Lift up a song, and give out a timbrel, A pleasant harp with psaltery.

    
 
 

3.

 

Blow in the month a trumpet, In the new moon, at the day of our festival,

    
 
 

4.

 

For a statute to Israel it [is], An ordinance of the God of Jacob.

    
 
 

5.

 

A testimony on Joseph He hath placed it, In his going forth over the land of Egypt. A lip, I have not known -- I hear.

    
 
 

6.

 

From the burden his shoulder I turned aside, His hands from the basket pass over.

    
 
 

7.

 

In distress thou hast called and I deliver thee, I answer thee in the secret place of thunder, I try thee by the waters of Meribah. Selah.

    
 
 

8.

 

Hear, O My people, and I testify to thee, O Israel, if thou dost hearken to me:

    
 
 

9.

 

There is not in thee a strange god, And thou bowest not thyself to a strange god.

    
 
 

10.

 

I [am] Jehovah thy God, Who bringeth thee up out of the land of Egypt. Enlarge thy mouth, and I fill it.

    
 
 

11.

 

But, My people hearkened not to My voice, And Israel hath not consented to Me.

    
 
 

12.

 

And I send them away in the enmity of their heart, They walk in their own counsels.

    
 
 

13.

 

O that My people were hearkening to Me, Israel in My ways would walk.

    
 
 

14.

 

As a little thing their enemies I cause to bow, And against their adversaries I turn back My hand,

    
 
 

15.

 

Those hating Jehovah feign obedience to Him, But their time is -- to the age.

    
 
 

16.

 

He causeth him to eat of the fat of wheat, And [with] honey from a rock I satisfy thee!
