81:1 To the chief Musician 5329 8764 upon Gittith 1665, [A Psalm] of Asaph 623. Sing aloud 7442 8685 unto God 430 our strength 5797: make a joyful noise 7321 8685 unto the God 430 of Jacob 3290.(of Asaph: or, for Asaph)

81:2 Take 5375 8798 a psalm 2172, and bring 5414 8798 hither the timbrel 8596, the pleasant 5273 harp 3658 with the psaltery 5035.

81:3 Blow up 8628 8798 the trumpet 7782 in the new moon 2320, in the time appointed 3677, on our solemn feast 2282 day 3117.

81:4 For this [was] a statute 2706 for Israel 3478, [and] a law 4941 of the God 430 of Jacob 3290.

81:5 This he ordained 7760 8804 in Joseph 3084 [for] a testimony 5715, when he went out 3318 8800 through the land 776 of Egypt 4714: [where] I heard 8085 8799 a language 8193 [that] I understood 3045 8804 not.(through: or, against)

81:6 I removed 5493 8689 his shoulder 7926 from the burden 5447: his hands 3709 were delivered 5674 8799 from the pots 1731.(were…: Heb. passed away)

81:7 Thou calledst 7121 8804 in trouble 6869, and I delivered 2502 8762 thee; I answered 6030 8799 thee in the secret place 5643 of thunder 7482: I proved 974 8799 thee at the waters 4325 of Meribah 4809. Selah 5542.(Meribah: or, Strife)

81:8 Hear 8085 8798, O my people 5971, and I will testify 5749 8686 unto thee: O Israel 3478, if thou wilt hearken 8085 8799 unto me;

81:9 There shall no strange 2114 8801 god 410 be in thee; neither shalt thou worship 7812 8691 any strange 5236 god 410.

81:10 I [am] the LORD 3068 thy God 430, which brought 5927 8688 thee out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714: open thy mouth 6310 wide 7337 8685, and I will fill 4390 8762 it.

81:11 But my people 5971 would not hearken 8085 8804 to my voice 6963; and Israel 3478 would 14 8804 none of me.

81:12 So I gave them up 7971 8762 unto their own hearts' 3820 lust 8307: [and] they walked 3212 8799 in their own counsels 4156.(unto…: or, to the hardness of their hearts, or, imagination)

81:13 Oh 3863 that my people 5971 had hearkened 8085 8802 unto me, [and] Israel 3478 had walked 1980 8762 in my ways 1870!

81:14 I should soon 4592 have subdued 3665 8686 their enemies 341 8802, and turned 7725 8686 my hand 3027 against their adversaries 6862.

81:15 The haters 8130 8764 of the LORD 3068 should have submitted 3584 8762 themselves unto him: but their time 6256 should have endured for ever 5769.(submitted…: or, yielded feigned obedience: Heb. lied)

81:16 He should have fed 398 8686 them also with the finest 2459 of the wheat 2406: and with honey 1706 out of the rock 6697 should I have satisfied 7646 8686 thee.(finest…: Heb. fat of wheat)
