Psalm 81

Sing we merrily unto God our strength  *

make a cheerful noise unto the God of Jacob.

There shall no strange god be in thee *

neither shalt thou worship any other god.

I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt *

open thy mouth wide, and I shall fill it.

But my people would not hear my voice *

and Israel would not obey me.

So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lusts *

and let them follow their own imaginations.

O that my people would have hearkened unto me *

for if Israel had walked in my ways,

I should soon have put down their enemies *

and turned my hand against their adversaries.

The haters of the Lord should have been found liars *

but their time should have endured for ever.
