New Century Version

Psalms 81:1-6 New Century Version (NCV)

1. Sing for joy to God, our strength;shout out loud to the God of Jacob.

2. Begin the music. Play the tambourines.Play pleasant music on the harps and lyres.

3. Blow the trumpet at the time of the New Moon,when the moon is full, when our feast begins.

4. This is the law for Israel;it is the command of the God of Jacob.

5. He gave this rule to the people of Josephwhen they went out of the land of Egypt.I heard a language I did not know, saying:

6. “I took the load off their shoulders;I let them put down their baskets.
