Psalms 81:6-16
6“I 12relieved his shoulder of the burden, His hands were freed from the 3basket.7You 4called in trouble and I rescued you; I 5answered you in the hiding place of thunder; I proved you at the 6waters of Meribah. 7Selah.88Hear, O My people, and I will 9admonish you; O Israel, if you 10would listen to Me!9Let there be no 11strange god among you; Nor shall you worship any foreign god.1012I, the Lord, am your God, Who brought you up from the land of Egypt; 13Open your mouth wide and I will 14fill it.
11“But My people 15did not listen to My voice, And Israel did not 16obey Me.12So I 17gave 18them over to the stubbornness of their heart, To walk in their own devices.13Oh that My people 19would listen to Me, That Israel would 20walk in My ways!14I would quickly 21subdue their enemies And 22turn My hand against their adversaries.1523Those who hate the Lord would 24pretend obedience to Him, And their time of punishment would be forever.1625But I would feed you with the 2627finest of the wheat, And with 28honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
