Psalms:81

* Sing aloud to God our strength . Make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob . * Raise a song , and bring here the timbrel , the pleasant harp with the psaltery . * Blow the trumpet at the new moon , at the full moon , on our feast-day . * For it is a statute for Israel , an ordinance of the God of Jacob . * He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony when he went out over the land of Egypt , [where ] I heard a language that I knew not . * I removed his shoulder from the burden . His hands were freed from the basket . * Thou called in trouble , and I delivered thee . I answered thee in the secret place of thunder . I proved thee at the waters of Meribah . Selah . * Hear , O my people , and I will testify to thee , O Israel , if thou would hearken to me ! * There shall no strange god be in thee , nor shall thou worship any foreign god . * I am LORD thy God who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt . Open thy mouth wide , and I will fill it . * But my people hearkened not to my voice , and Israel would none of me . * So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart , that they might walk in their own counsels . * O that my people would hearken to me , that Israel would walk in my ways ! * I would soon subdue their enemies , and turn my hand against their adversaries . * (The haters of LORD feign obedience to him , but their time is forever .) * He would feed them also with the finest of the wheat . And I would satisfy thee with honey out of the rock .
