Psalms 81
1
8 Hear, O my people, and I will adjure thee, O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me!9 There shall not be, within thee, a foreign GOD, - Neither shalt thou bow down to a strange GOD:10 I, Yahweh, am thy God, Who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, - Open wide thy mouth, that I may fill it.11 But my people, hearkened not, unto my voice, Even, Israel, inclined not unto me.12 So then I let them go on in the stubbornness of their own heart, - They might walk in their own counsels!13 If, my people, were hearkening unto me, If, Israel, in my ways, would walk,14 Right soon, their foes, would I subdue, And, against their adversaries, would I turn my hand:15 The haters of Yahweh, should come cringing unto him, Then let their own good time be age-abiding!16 Then would he feed them from the marrow of the wheat, Yea, out of the rock - with honey, would I satisfy thee.
