AMP ▾Psalms ▾81 ▾Psalms 811Sing aloud to God our strength; Shout for joy to the God of Jacob (Israel).2Raise a song, sound the timbrel, The sweet sounding lyre with the harp.3Blow the trumpet at the New Moon, At the full moon, on our feast day.4For this is a statute for Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob.5He established it for a testimony in Joseph When He went throughout the land of Egypt. I heard the language [of One whom] I did not know, saying,6¶“I removed the burden from his shoulder; His hands were freed from the basket.7“You called in [the time of] trouble and I rescued you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. [Num 20:3, 13, 24] Selah.8“Hear, O My people, and I will admonish 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 am the L ord your God, Who brought you up from the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.11¶“But My people would not listen to My voice, And Israel did not [consent to] obey Me.12“So I gave them up to the stubbornness of their heart, To walk in [the path of] their own counsel. [Acts 7:42, 43; 14:16; Rom 1:24, 26]13“Oh, that My people would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways!14“Then I would quickly subdue and humble their enemies And turn My hand against their adversaries;15Those who hate the L ord would pretend obedience to Him and cringe before Him, And their time of punishment would be forever.16“But I would feed Israel with the finest of the wheat; And with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”Psalms 80Psalms 82
