Psalms 81 — GNV
81Verse 1To him that excelleth upon Gittith. A Psalme committed to Asaph. Sing ioyfully vnto God our strength: sing loude vnto the God of Iaakob.Verse 2Take the song and bring forth the timbrel, the pleasant harpe with the viole.Verse 3Blowe the trumpet in the newe moone, euen in the time appointed, at our feast day.Verse 4For this is a statute for Israel, and a Law of the God of Iaakob.Verse 5Hee set this in Ioseph for a testimonie, when hee came out of the land of Egypt, where I heard a language, that I vnderstoode not.Verse 6I haue withdrawen his shoulder from the burden, and his handes haue left the pots.Verse 7Thou calledst in affliction and I deliuered thee, and answered thee in the secret of the thunder: I prooued thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.Verse 8Heare, O my people, and I wil protest vnto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken vnto me,Verse 9Let there bee no strange god in thee, neither worship thou any strange god.Verse 10For I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide and I will fill it.Verse 11But my people would not heare my voyce, and Israel would none of me.Verse 12So I gaue them vp vnto the hardnesse of their heart, and they haue walked in their owne cousels.Verse 13Oh that my people had hearkened vnto me, and Israel had walked in my wayes.Verse 14I would soone haue humbled their enemies, and turned mine hand against their aduersaries.Verse 15The haters of the Lord should haue bene subiect vnto him, and their time should haue endured for euer.Verse 16And God would haue fedde them with the fatte of wheat, and with honie out of the rocke would I haue sufficed thee.
