CHAPTER 81

For the choirmaster.

According to

Gittith.

Of Asaph.

Sing for joy

to God

our strength;

make a joyful noise

to the God

of Jacob.

Lift up

a song,

strike

the tambourine,

play the sweet-sounding

harp

and

lyre.

Sound

the ram’s horn

at the New Moon,

and at the full moon

on the day

of our Feast.

For

this

is a statute

for Israel,

an ordinance

of the God

of Jacob.

He ordained it

as a testimony

for Joseph

when he went out

over

the land

of Egypt,

where I heard

an unfamiliar

language:

“I relieved

his shoulder

of the burden;

his hands

were freed

from the basket.

You called out

in distress,

and I rescued you;

I answered

you from the cloud

of thunder;

I tested

you at

the waters

of Meribah.

Selah

Hear,

O My people,

and I will warn you:

O Israel,

if only

you would listen

to Me!

There must be no

strange

god

among you,

nor shall you

bow

to a foreign

god.

I

am the LORD

your God,

who brought you up

out of Egypt.

Open wide your mouth,

and I will fill it.

But My people

would not

listen to Me,

and Israel

would not

obey

Me.

So I gave them up

to their stubborn

hearts

to follow

their own devices.

If only

My people

would listen

to Me,

if Israel

would follow

My ways,

how soon

I would subdue

their enemies

and turn

My hand

against

their foes.

Those who hate

the LORD

would feign obedience,

and their doom

would last forever.

But I would feed you

the finest

wheat;

with honey

from the rock

I would satisfy you.”
