Psalms 81: 6 - 11, 14, 17
|
| 6
|
"I relieved your shoulder of the burden; your hands were freed from the basket.
|
| 7
|
In distress you called, and I delivered you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Mer'ibah. [Selah]
|
| 8
|
Hear, O my people, while I admonish you! O Israel, if you would but listen to me!
|
| 9
|
There shall be no strange god among you; you shall not bow down to a foreign god.
|
| 10
|
I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
|
| 11
|
"But my people did not listen to my voice; Israel would have none of me.
|
| 14
|
I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn my hand against their foes.
