81:1  For the choir director. According to the Gittith. Of Asaph. Sing for joy to God our strength; Make a loud shout to the God of Jacob.
81:2  Lift up a song of praise, strike the tambourine, The sweet sounding lyre with the harp.
81:3  Blow the trumpet at the new moon, At the full moon, on our feast day.
81:4  For it is a statute for Israel, A judgment of the God of Jacob.
81:5  He established it for a testimony in Joseph When he went forth over the land of Egypt. I heard a language that I did not know:
81:6  “I relieved his shoulder of the burden, His hands were freed from the basket.
81:7  You called in distress and I rescued you; I answered you in the hiding place of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah.
81:8  Hear, O My people, and I will testify against you; O Israel, if you would listen to Me!
81:9  Let there be no strange god among you; And you shall not worship a foreign god.
81:10  I am Yahweh your God, Who brought you up from the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.
81:11  “But My people did not listen to My voice, And Israel was not willing to obey Me.
81:12  So I released them over to the stubbornness of their heart, That they would walk in their own devices.
81:13  Oh that My people would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways!
81:14  I would quickly subdue their enemies And I would turn My hand against their adversaries.
81:15  Those who hate Yahweh would cower before Him, And their time of punishment would be forever.
81:16  But I would feed you with the finest of the wheat, And with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
