# Chapter 81
|
|
1 Sing aloud to God our strength;
|
|
Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob.
|
|
2 Raise a song and strike the timbrel,
|
|
The pleasant harp with the lute.
|
|
3 Blow the trumpet at the time of the New Moon,
|
|
At the full moon, on our solemn feast day.
|
|
4 For this is a statute for Israel,
|
|
A law of the God of Jacob.
|
|
5 This He established in Joseph as a testimony,
|
|
When He went throughout the land of Egypt,
|
|
Where I heard a language I did not understand.
|
|
6 “I removed his shoulder from the burden;
|
|
His hands were freed from the baskets.
|
|
7 You called in trouble, and I delivered you;
|
|
I answered you in the secret place of thunder;
|
|
I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah
|
|
8 “Hear, O My people, and I will admonish you!
|
|
O Israel, if you will listen to Me!
|
|
9 There shall be no foreign god among you;
|
|
Nor shall you worship any foreign god.
|
|
10 I am the Lord your God,
|
|
Who brought you out of the land of Egypt;
|
|
Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
|
|
11 “But My people would not heed My voice,
|
|
And Israel would have none of Me.
|
|
12 So I gave them over to their own stubborn heart,
|
|
To walk in their own counsels.
|
|
13 “Oh, that My people would listen to Me,
|
|
That Israel would walk in My ways!
|
|
14 I would soon subdue their enemies,
|
|
And turn My hand against their adversaries.
|
|
15 The haters of the Lord would pretend submission to Him,
|
|
But their fate would endure forever.
|
|
16 He would have fed them also with the finest of wheat;
|
|
And with honey from the rock I would have satisfied you.” |
