Psalms 81:6-16
6“I relieved his shoulder of the burden; his hands were freed from the basket.7You called out in distress, and I rescued you; I answered you from the cloud of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah.1 Selah8Hear, O My people, and I will warn you: O Israel, if only you would listen to Me!9There must be no strange god among you, nor shall you bow to a foreign god.10I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth, and I will fill it.
11But My people would not listen to Me,and Israel would not obey Me.12So I gave them up to their stubborn heartsto follow their own devices.13If only My people would listen to Me,if Israel would follow My ways,14how soon I would subdue their enemiesand turn My hand against their foes!15Those who hate the LORD would feign obedience,and their doom would last forever.16But I would feed you the finest wheat;with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
