Context of Psalms 81:3

1Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob. 2Take up the psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery. Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, at the full moon, on our solemn feast day. 4For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob. 5He appointed it in Joseph for testimony, when he went out over the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I knew not.
