Psalme 81

¹[To the chiefe Musician vpon Gittith. A Psalme of Asaph.] Sing alowd vnto God our strength: make a ioyfull noise vnto the God of Iacob.

²Take a Psalme, and bring hither the timbrell: the pleasant harpe with the psalterie.

³Blow vp the trumpet in the new Moone: in the time appointed on our solemne feast day.

⁴For this was a Statute for Israel: and a Law of the God of Iacob.

⁵This he ordained in Ioseph for a testimonie, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language, that I vnderstood not.

⁶I remoued his shoulder from the burden: his handes were deliuered from the pots.

⁷Thou calledst in trouble, and I deliuered thee, I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proued thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.

⁸Heare, O my people, and I will testifie vnto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken vnto me:

⁹There shall no strange God be in thee: neither shalt thou worship any strange God.

¹⁰I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

¹¹But my people would not hearken to my voice: and Israel would none of me.

¹²So I gaue them vp vnto their owne hearts lust: and they walked in in their owne counsels.

¹³O that my people had hearkned vnto me: and Israel had walked in my wayes!

¹⁴I should soone haue subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their aduersaries.

¹⁵The haters of the Lord should haue submitted themselues vnto him: but their time should haue endured for euer.

¹⁶Hee should haue fedde them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honie out of the rocke, should I haue satisfied thee.
