Psalms 81

PSALM 81

1To the overcomer, on the pressers [or wine presses] , [the psalm] of Asaph . Make ye fully joy [or Full out joyeth] to God, our helper; sing ye heartily to God of Jacob.

2Take ye a psalm, and give ye a tympan; a merry psaltery with an harp.

3Blow ye with a trump in the new moon; in the noble day of your solemnity.

4For why commandment is in Israel; and doom is to God of Jacob.

5He setted [or put] that witnessing in Joseph; when he went out of the land of Egypt, he heard a language, that he knew not.

6He turned away his back from burdens; his hands served in a coffin.

7In tribulation thou inwardly called-est me, and I delivered thee; I heard thee in the hid place of tempest, I proved thee at the waters of against-saying.

8My people, hear thou me , and I shall be witness against thee; Israel, if thou hearest me,

9a fresh God shall not be in thee; and thou shalt not worship an alien god.

10For I am thy Lord God, that led thee out of the land of Egypt; make large thy mouth, and I shall fill it.

11And my people heard not my voice; and Israel gave not attention to me.

12And I let them go after the desires of their heart; they shall go in their findings.

13If my people had heard me; if Israel had gone in my ways.

14For not in hap I had made low their enemies; and I had sent mine hand on men doing tribulation to them.

15The enemies of the Lord lied or lay down to him; and their time shall be into worlds.

16And he fed them with the fatness of wheat; and he [ful] filled them with honey of the stone.
