Chapter 81
|
1
|
Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise
unto the God of Jacob. |
2
|
Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant
harp with the psaltery. |
3
|
Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed,
on our solemn feast day. |
4
|
For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the
God of Jacob. |
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. |
6
|
I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were
delivered from the pots. |
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 wilt hearken unto me; |
9
|
There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt
thou worship any strange god. |
10
|
I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the
land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. |
11
|
But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel
would none of me. |
12
|
So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and
they walked in their own counsels. |
13
|
Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel
had walked in my ways! |
14
|
I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned
my hand against their adversaries. |
15
|
The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves
unto him: but their time should have endured for ever. |
16
|
He should have fed them also with the finest of the
wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied
thee. |
