Psalms 81:6-16

6I removedH5493 his shoulderH7926 from the burdenH5447: his handsH3709 were deliveredH5674 from the potsH1731.1

7Thou calledstH7121 in troubleH6869, and I deliveredH2502 thee; I answeredH6030 thee in the secret placeH5643 of thunderH7482: I provedH974 thee at the watersH4325 of MeribahH4809. SelahH5542.2

8HearH8085, O my peopleH5971, and I will testifyH5749 unto thee: O IsraelH3478, if thou wilt hearkenH8085 unto me;

9There shall no strangeH2114 godH410 be in thee; neither shalt thou worshipH7812 any strangeH5236 godH410.

10I am YhwhH3068 thy GodH430, which broughtH5927 thee out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714: open thy mouthH6310 wideH7337, and I will fillH4390 it.

11But my peopleH5971 would not hearkenH8085 to my voiceH6963; and IsraelH3478 wouldH14 none of me.

12So I gave them upH7971 unto their own hearts’H3820 lustH8307: and they walkedH3212 in their own counselsH4156.3

13OhH3863 that my peopleH5971 had hearkenedH8085 unto me, and IsraelH3478 had walkedH1980 in my waysH1870!

14I should soonH4592 have subduedH3665 their enemiesH341, and turnedH7725 my handH3027 against their adversariesH6862.

15The hatersH8130 of YhwhH3068 should have submittedH3584 themselves unto him: but their timeH6256 should have endured for everH5769.4

16He should have fedH398 them also with the finestH2459 of the wheatH2406: and with honeyH1706 out of the rockH6697 should I have satisfiedH7646 thee.5
