# Psalm 81 To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith. Of Asaph.
<a id="1" name="1"></a>
1. Sing aloud to God our strength; shout for joy to the God of Jacob!
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
2. Raise a song; sound the tambourine, the sweet lyre with the harp.
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
3. Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the full moon, on our feast day.
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
4. For it is a statute for Israel, a rule of the God of Jacob.
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
5. He made it a decree in Joseph when he went out over the land of Egypt. I hear a language I had not known:
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
6. “I relieved your shoulder of the burden; your hands were freed from the basket.
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
7. In distress you called, and I delivered you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
8. Hear, O my people, while I admonish you! O Israel, if you would but listen to me!
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
9. There shall be no strange god among you; you shall not bow down to a foreign god.
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
10. I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
<a id="11" name="11"></a>
11. “But my people did not listen to my voice; Israel would not submit to me.
<a id="12" name="12"></a>
12. So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts, to follow their own counsels.
<a id="13" name="13"></a>
13. Oh, that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways!
<a id="14" name="14"></a>
14. I would soon subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their foes.
<a id="15" name="15"></a>
15. Those who hate the LORD would cringe toward him, and their fate would last forever.
<a id="16" name="16"></a>
16. But he would feed you with the finest of the wheat, and with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
(ESV)
