81:1  Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
81:2  Take a psalm, and bring here the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
81:3  Blow the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
81:4  For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.
81:5  This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.
81:6  I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were freed from the basket.
81:7  You called in trouble, and I delivered you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder: I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah.
81:8  Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto you: O Israel, if you will hearken unto me;
81:9  There shall no strange god be among you; neither shall you worship any foreign god.
81:10  I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt: open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
81:11  But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would have none of me.
81:12  So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels.
81:13  Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!
81:14  I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
81:15  The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: and their fate should have endured forever.
81:16  He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied you.
