Psalms 81:1-11 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

1. Sing ye joyously unto God our strength, shout aloud unto the God of Jacob;

2. Raise a song, and sound the tambour, the pleasant harp with the lute.

3. Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the set time, on our feast day:

4. For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob;

5. He ordained it in Joseph for a testimony, when he went forth over the land of Egypt, where I heard a language that I knew not.

6. I removed his shoulder from the burden; his hands were freed from the basket.

7. Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.

8. Hear, my people, and I will testify unto thee; O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto me!

9. There shall no strange god be in thee, neither shalt thou worship any foreign god

10. I am Jehovah thy God that brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

11. But my people hearkened not to my voice, and Israel would none of me.
