To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of Asaph
81:002
Sing aloud unto G-d our strength; shout unto the G-d of
Jacob
81:003
Take up the melody, and sound the timbrel, the sweet harp
with the psaltery
81:004
Blow the horn at the new moon, at the full moon for our
feast-day
81:005
For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the G-d of
Jacob
81:006
He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, when He went
forth against the land of Egypt. The speech of one that I knew not did I hear
81:007
'I removed his shoulder from the burden; His hands were
freed from the basket
81:008
Thou didst call in trouble, and I rescued thee; I answered
thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah.
Sela
81:009
Hear, O My people, and I will admonish thee: O Israel, if
thou wouldest hearken unto Me
81:010
There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou
worship any foreign god
81:011
I am HaShem thy G-d, who brought thee up out of the land
of Egypt; open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it
81:012
But My people hearkened not to My voice; and Israel would
none of Me
81:013
So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart,
that they might walk in their own counsels
81:014
Oh that My people would hearken unto Me, that Israel would
walk in My ways
81:015
I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn My hand
against their adversaries
81:016
The haters of HaShem should dwindle away before Him; and
their punishment should endure for ever
81:017
They should also be fed with the fat of wheat; and with
honey out of the rock would I satisfy thee.
