BOOK 3 / God’s Goodness and Israel’s Waywardness.: BIBLE, New American Standard Bible == BIBLE-CENTRE

Psalms, Psalm 81

Sing for joy to God our strength;
Shout joyfully to the God of Jacob.

Raise a song, strike the timbrel,
The sweet sounding lyre with the harp.

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 established it for a testimony in Joseph
When he^awent throughout the land of Egypt.
I heard a language that I did not know:

⁶

“I^brelieved his shoulder of the burden,
His hands were freed from the^cbasket.

⁷

“You called in trouble and I rescued you;
I answered you in the hiding place of thunder;
I proved you at the waters of Meribah.^dSelah.

⁸

“Hear, O My people, and I will^eadmonish you;
O Israel, if you would listen to Me!

⁹

“Let there be no strange god among you;
Nor shall you worship any foreign god.

¹⁰

“I, the LORD, am your God,
Who brought you up from the land of Egypt;
Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.

¹¹

“But My people did not listen to My voice,
And Israel did not^fobey Me.

¹²

“So I gave^gthem over to the stubbornness of their heart,
To walk in their own devices.

¹³

“Oh that My people would listen to Me,
That Israel would walk in My ways!

¹⁴

“I would quickly subdue their enemies
And turn My hand against their adversaries.

¹⁵

“Those who hate the LORD would pretend obedience to Him,
And their time of punishment would be forever.

¹⁶

“^hBut I would feed you with theⁱfinest of the wheat,
And with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
