| # Chapter 81
#### 1 | For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. [A Psalm] of Asaph. Sing aloud unto God our strength: Make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
#### 2 | Raise a song, and bring hither the timbrel, The pleasant harp with the psaltery.
#### 3 | Blow the trumpet at the new moon, At the full moon, on our feast-day.
#### 4 | For it is a statute for Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob.
#### 5 | He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, When he went out over the land of Egypt, [Where] I heard a language that I knew not.
#### 6 | I removed his shoulder from the burden: His hands were freed from the basket.
#### 7 | Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah
#### 8 | Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto me!
#### 9 | There shall no strange god be in thee; Neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.
#### 10 | I am Jehovah thy God, Who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
#### 11 | But my people hearkened not to my voice; And Israel would none of me.
#### 12 | So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, That they might walk in their own counsels.
#### 13 | Oh that my people would hearken unto me, That Israel would walk in my ways!
#### 14 | I would soon subdue their enemies, And turn my hand against their adversaries.
#### 15 | The haters of Jehovah should submit themselves unto him: But their time should endure for ever.
#### 16 | He would feed them also with the finest of the wheat; And with honey out of the rock would I satisfy thee.
