2 | \81:1\To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of Asaph. Sing aloud to God our strength: make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob. |
3 | \81:2\Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery. |
4 | \81:3\Blow the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day. |
5 | \81:4\For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob. |
6 | \81:5\This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not. |
7 | \81:6\I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots. |
8 | \81:7\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. |
9 | \81:8\Hear, O my people, and I will testify to thee; O Israel, if thou wilt hearken to me; |
10 | \81:9\There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god. |
11 | \81:10\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 | \81:11\But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would not obey me. |
13 | \81:12\So I gave them up to their own hearts lust: and they walked in their own counsels. |
14 | \81:13\O that my people had hearkened to me, and Israel had walked in my ways! |
15 | \81:14\I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries. |
16 | \81:15\The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves to him: and their time should have endured for ever. |
17 | \81:16\He would have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock I should have satisfied thee. |
