The Book of Psalms 81

For the chief musician; set to the Gittith style. A psalm of Asaph.

81 Sing aloud to God our strength;

shout out for joy to the God of Jacob.

2 Sing a song and play the tambourine,

the pleasant lyre with the harp.

3 Blow the trumpet on the day of the new moon,

on the day of the full moon, when our feast day begins.

4 For it is a statute for Israel,

a decree given by the God of Jacob.

5 He issued it as a regulation in Joseph

when he went against the land of Egypt,

where I heard a voice that I did not recognize:

6 “I removed the burden from his shoulder;

his hands were freed from holding the basket.

7 In your distress you called out, and I helped you;

I answered you from a dark thundercloud.

I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah

8 Listen, my people, for I will warn you,

Israel, if you would only listen to me!

9 There must be no foreign god among you;

you must not worship any foreign god.

10 I am Yahweh your God,

who brought you out of the land of Egypt.

Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

11 But my people did not listen to my words;

Israel did not obey me.

12 So I gave them over to their own stubborn way

so that they might do what seemed right to them.

13 Oh, that my people would listen to me;

oh, that my people would walk in my paths.

14 Then I would quickly subdue their enemies

and turn my hand against their oppressors.

15 May those who hate Yahweh cringe in fear before him!

May they be humiliated forever.

16 I would feed Israel with the finest wheat;

I would satisfy you with honey out of the rock.”
