Psalm 81 - Israeli Authorized Version

¹ Sing aloud unto Elohim our strength: make a joyful noise unto the Elohim of Yaakov.

² Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.

³ Blow up the shofar in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.

⁴ For this was a statute for Yisrael, and a Torah of the Elohim of Yaakov.

⁵ This he ordained in Yosef for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.

⁶ I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.

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 Yisrael, if thou wilt hearken unto me;

⁹ There shall no strange Elohim be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange Elohim.

¹⁰ I am YY thy Elohim, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

¹¹ But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Yisrael would none of me.

¹² So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels.

¹³ Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Yisrael had walked in my ways!

¹⁴ I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.

¹⁵ The haters of YY should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.

¹⁶ He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
