Psalms, 81

The New American Bible

1 For the leader; "upon the gittith." Of Asaph.

2 Sing joyfully to God our strength; shout in triumph to the God of Jacob!

3 Take up a melody, sound the timbrel, the sweet-sounding harp and lyre.

4 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the full moon, on our solemn feast.

5 For this is a law in Israel, an edict of the God of Jacob,

6 Who made it a decree for Joseph when he came out of the land of Egypt. II I hear a new oracle:

7 "I relieved their shoulders of the burden; their hands put down the basket.

8 In distress you called and I rescued you; unseen, I spoke to you in thunder; At the waters of Meribah I tested you and said: Selah

9 'Listen, my people, I give you warning! If only you will obey me, Israel!

10 There must be no foreign god among you; you must not worship an alien god.

11 I, the LORD, am your God, who brought you up from the land of Egypt. Open wide your mouth that I may fill it.'

12 But my people did not listen to my words; Israel did not obey me.

13 So I gave them over to hardness of heart; they followed their own designs.

14 But even now if my people would listen, if Israel would walk in my paths,

15 In a moment I would subdue their foes, against their enemies unleash my hand.

16 Those who hate the LORD would tremble, their doom sealed forever.

17 But Israel I would feed with the finest wheat, satisfy them with honey from the rock."
