Psalm 81

God’s Goodness and Israel’s Waywardness.

For the music director; on the Gittith. A Psalm of Asaph.

1Sing for joy to God our strength;
Shout joyfully to the God of Jacob.
2Raise a song, strike the tambourine,
The sweet sounding lyre with the harp.
3Blow the trumpet at the new moon,
At the full moon, on our feast day.
4For it is a statute for Israel,
An ordinance of the God of Jacob.
5He established it as a testimony in Joseph
When he went throughout the land of Egypt.
I heard a language I did not know:
6“I relieved his shoulder of the burden,
His hands were freed from the basket.
7“You called in trouble and I rescued you;
I answered you in the hiding place of thunder;
I put you to the test at the waters of Meribah.
Selah
