81:1 Praise God, our Champion, and cry to the God of Jacob!
81:2 Take tambourines and lyres and those pleasant on harps.
81:3 Call with the trumpets at the first of the month and at full moon on feast days.
81:4 For this is the law for Israel and the judgment for the God of Jacob!
81:5 He appointed a testimony in Joseph when he went forth to the land of Egypt; he heard a language that he did not know.
81:6 I took the burden from his shoulder and I freed his hands from the baskets at the waters of testing.
81:7 He called me in trouble, and in secret, in my glorious refuge, I saved him and I tested him.
81:8 Hear my people and I shall speak, and Israel, I shall testify of you if you will hear me.
81:9 You shall have no strange god neither shall you worship to serve another.
81:10 I AM The Living God, Lord Jehovah, your God, who brought you out from the land of Egypt.
81:11 And my people did not listen to my voice and Israel was not persuaded by me.
81:12 But they walked in the desire of their heart and in the counsel of their souls.
81:13 If my people had heard me and Israel had walked in my ways,
81:14 I would have shortly destroyed their enemies and would have turned my hand against those who hated them.
81:15 The haters of Lord Jehovah have angered him and he is their cause of trembling for eternity.
81:16 He fed him from the fatness of the wheat and honey from the rock satisfied him.
