Psalms 81
1
Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob!
2
the pleasant lyre with the harp.
3
at the full moon, on our feast day.
4
an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
5
I heard a language that I didn’t know.
6
His hands were freed from the basket.
7
I tested you at the waters of Meribah.”
8
Israel, if you would listen to me!
9
neither shall you worship any foreign god.
10
Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11
Israel desired none of me.
12
that they might walk in their own counsels.
13
that Israel would walk in my ways!
14
and turn my hand against their adversaries.
15
and their punishment would last forever.
16
I will satisfy you with honey out of the rock.”
