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 put you to the test at the 6waters of Meribah. Selah87Hear, My people, and I will admonish you; Israel, if you 8would listen to Me!9There shall be no 9strange god among you; Nor shall you worship a foreign god.1010I, the Lord, am your God, Who brought you up from the land of Egypt; 11Open your mouth wide and I will 12fill it.
11“But My people 13did not listen to My voice, And Israel did not 14obey Me.12So I 15gave 16them over to the stubbornness of their heart, To walk by their own plans.13Oh that My people 17would listen to Me, That Israel would 18walk in My ways!14I would quickly 19subdue their enemies And 20turn My hand against their adversaries.1521Those who hate the Lord would 22pretend to obey Him, And their time of punishment would be forever.1623But I would feed you with the 2425finest of the wheat, And with 26honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
