Psalms 80 — LXXSA

(81) For the end, a Psalm for⁺Asaph, concerning the wine presses.

80Verse 1Rejoice you⌃ in God our helper; shout aloud to the God of Jacob.
^{Verse 2}Take a psalm, and produce the timbrel, the pleasant lute with the harp.
^{Verse 3}Blow the trumpet at the new moon, in the glorious day of⁺your feast.
^{Verse 4}For this is an ordinance for Israel, and a statute of the God of Jacob.
^{Verse 5}He made⁺it to be a testimony in Joseph, when he came forth out of the land of Egypt: he heard a language which he understood not.
^{Verse 6}He removed his back from burdens: his hands slaved in making the baskets.
^{Verse 7}You did call upon me in trouble, and I delivered you; I heard you in the secret place of the storm: I proved you at the water of⁺Strife. Pause.
^{Verse 8}Hear, my people, and I will speak to you, O Israel; and I will testify to you: if you will listen to me;
^{Verse 9}there shall be no new god in you; neither shall you worship a strange god.
^{Verse 10}For I am the Lord your God, that brought you out of the land of Egypt: open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
^{Verse 11}But my people listened not to my voice; and Israel gave no heed to me.
^{Verse 12}So I let them go after the ways of their own hearts: they will go on in their own ways.
^{Verse 13}If my people had listened to me, if Israel had walked in my ways,
^{Verse 14}I should have put down their enemies very quickly, and should have laid my hand upon those that afflicted them.
^{Verse 15}The Lord's enemies should have lied to him: but⁺their time shall be for ever.
^{Verse 16}And he fed them with the fat of wheat; and satisfied them with honey out of the rock.
