Context of Psalms 81:3

1Sing ye joyously unto God our strength, shout aloud unto the God of Jacob; 2Raise a song, and sound the tambour, the pleasant harp with the lute. Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the set time, on our feast day: 4For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob; 5He ordained it in Joseph [for] a testimony, when he went forth over the land of Egypt, [where] I heard a language that I knew not.
