Psalm 81 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Lift ^H5375 up ^H5375 a song ^H2172 of praise ^H2172, strike ^H5414 the tambourine ^H8596,

The sweet ^H5273 sounding ^H5273 lyre ^H3658 with the harp ^H5035.

Blow ^H8628 the trumpet ^H7782 at the new ^H2320 moon ^H2320,

At the full ^H3677 moon ^H3677, on our feast ^H2282 day ^H3117.

For it is a statute ^H2706 for Israel ^H3478,

A judgment ^H4941 of the God ^H430 of Jacob ^H3290.

He established ^H7760 it for a testimony ^H5715 in Joseph ^H3130

When he went ^H3318 forth ^H5921 over ^H5921 the land ^H776 of Egypt ^H4714.

I heard ^H8085 a language ^H8193 that I did not know ^H3045:

“I [fn]relieved ^H5493 his shoulder ^H7926 of the burden ^H5447,

His hands ^H3709 were freed ^H5674 from the [fn]basket ^H1731.

“You called ^H7121 in distress ^H6869 and I rescued ^H2502 you;

I answered ^H6030 you in the hiding ^H5643 place ^H5643 of thunder ^H7482;

I tested ^H974 you at the waters ^H4325 of Meribah ^H4809. [fn]Selah ^H5542.

“Hear ^H8085, O My people ^H5971, and I will testify ^H5749 against you;

O Israel ^H3478, if ^H518 you would listen ^H8085 to Me!

“Let there be no ^H3808 strange ^H2114 god ^H410 among you;

And ^H3808 you shall not worship ^H2331 a foreign ^H5236 god ^H410.

“I am Yahweh ^H3068 your God ^H430,

Who brought ^H5927 you up ^H5927 from the land ^H776 of Egypt ^H4714;

Open ^H7337 your mouth ^H6310 wide ^H7337 and I will fill ^H4390 it.

“But My people ^H5971 did not listen ^H8085 to My voice ^H6963,

And Israel ^H3478 was ^H14 not willing ^H14 to obey Me.

“So I released ^H7971 [fn]them over ^H7971 to the stubbornness ^H8307 of their heart ^H3820,

That they would walk ^H1980 in their own devices ^H4156.

“Oh ^H3863 that My people ^H5971 would listen ^H8085 to Me,

That Israel ^H3478 would walk ^H1980 in My ways ^H1870!

“I would quickly ^H4592 subdue ^H3665 their enemies ^H340

And I would turn ^H7725 My hand ^H3027 against ^H5921 their adversaries ^H6862.

“Those who hate ^H8130 Yahweh ^H3068 would cower ^H3584 before Him,

And their time ^H6256 of punishment would be forever ^H5769.

“[fn]But I would feed ^H398 you with the [fn]finest ^H2459 of the wheat ^H2406,

And with honey ^H1706 from the rock ^H6697 I would satisfy ^H7646 you.”
