Psalms 81:6-16

6“I removed his shoulder from the burden; His hands were freed from the baskets.

7You called in trouble, and I delivered you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah

8“Hear, O My people, and I will admonish you! O Israel, if you will listen to Me!

9There shall be no foreign god among you; Nor shall you worship any foreign god.

10I am the Lord your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

11“But My people would not heed My voice, And Israel would have none of Me.

12So I gave them over to their own stubborn heart, To walk in their own counsels.

13“Oh, that My people would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways!

14I would soon subdue their enemies, And turn My hand against their adversaries.

15The haters of the Lord would pretend submission to Him, But their fate would endure forever.

16He would have fed them also with the finest of wheat; And with honey from the rock I would have satisfied you.”
