| Psalms 81: (ASV) |
| 1) Sing aloud unto God our strength: Make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob. |
| 2) Raise a song, and bring hither the timbrel, The pleasant harp with the psaltery. |
| 3) Blow the trumpet at the new moon, At the full moon, on our feast-day. |
| 4) For it is a statute for Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob. |
| 5) He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, When he went out over the land of Egypt, Where I heard a language that I knew not. |
| 6) I removed his shoulder from the burden: His hands were freed from the basket. |
| 7) Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. [Selah] |
| 8) Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto me! |
| 9) There shall no strange god be in thee; Neither shalt thou worship any foreign god. |
| 10) I am Jehovah thy God, Who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. |
| 11) But my people hearkened not to my voice; And Israel would none of me. |
| 12) So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, That they might walk in their own counsels. |
| 13) Oh that my people would hearken unto 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 Jehovah should submit themselves unto him: But their time should endure for ever. |
| 16) He would feed them also with the finest of the wheat; And with honey out of the rock would I satisfy thee. |
