Psalms 81

Sing aloud to God, our strength!

Raise a song, and bring here the tambourine,

Blow the trumpet at the New Moon,

For it is a statute for Israel,

He appointed it in Joseph for a covenant,

“I removed his shoulder from the burden.

You called in trouble, and I delivered you.

“Hear, my people, and I will testify to you,

There shall be no strange god in you,

I am Yahweh, your God,

But my people didn’t listen to my voice.

So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts,

Oh that my people would listen to me,

I would soon subdue their enemies,

The haters of Yahweh would cringe before him,

But he would have also fed them with the finest of the wheat.
