Psalms Chapter 81 (NKJV Bible)

Compare with Version:

¹ To the Chief Musician. [1†]On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm of Asaph. [1] Sing aloud to God our strength; Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob.

² Raise a song and strike the timbrel, The pleasant harp with the lute.

³ Blow the trumpet at the time of the New Moon, At the full moon, on our solemn feast day.

⁴ For [2†]this is a statute for Israel, A law of the God of Jacob.

⁵ This He established in Joseph as a testimony, When He went throughout the land of Egypt, [3†]Where I heard a language I did not understand.

⁶ “I removed his shoulder from the burden; His hands were freed from the baskets.

⁷ [4†]You called in trouble, and I delivered you; [5†]I answered you in the secret place of thunder; I [6†]tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah

⁸ “Hear, [7†] O My people, and I will admonish you! O Israel, if you will listen to Me!

⁹ There shall be no [8†]foreign god among you; Nor shall you worship any foreign god.

¹⁰ [9†]I am the LORD your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt; [10†]Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

¹¹ “But My people would not heed My voice, And Israel would have [11†]none of Me.

¹² [12†]So I gave them over to their own stubborn heart, To walk in their own counsels.

¹³ “Oh, [13†] that My people would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways!

¹⁴ I would soon subdue their enemies, And turn My hand against their adversaries.

¹⁵ [14†]The haters of the LORD would pretend submission to Him, But their fate would endure forever.

¹⁶ He would [15†]have fed them also with the finest of wheat; And with honey [16†]from the rock I would have satisfied you.”
