Psalm 81 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

God's Goodness and Israel's Waywardness.

Psa 81:1

For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of Asaph.

Sing aloud unto God our strength:

Make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.

Psa 81:2

Raise a song, and bring hither the timbrel,

The pleasant harp with the psaltery.

Psa 81:3

Blow the trumpet at the new moon,

At the full moon, on our feast-day.

Psa 81:4

For it is a statute for Israel,

An ordinance of the God of Jacob.

Psa 81:5

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.

Psa 81:6

I removed his shoulder from the burden:

His hands were freed from the basket.

Psa 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

Psa 81:8

Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee:

O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto me!

Psa 81:9

There shall no strange god be in thee;

Neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.

Psa 81:10

I am Jehovah thy God,

Who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt:

Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

Psa 81:11

But my people hearkened not to my voice;

And Israel would none of me.

Psa 81:12

So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart,

That they might walk in their own counsels.

Psa 81:13

Oh that my people would hearken unto me,

That Israel would walk in my ways!

Psa 81:14

I would soon subdue their enemies,

And turn my hand against their adversaries.

Psa 81:15

The haters of Jehovah should submit themselves unto him:

But their time should endure for ever.

Psa 81:16

He would feed them also with the finest of the wheat;

And with honey out of the rock would I satisfy thee.
