Psalm 81

Exultate Deo
1
Sing we merrily unto God our strength  *
make a cheerful noise unto the God of Jacob.
10
There shall no strange god be in thee *
neither shalt thou worship any other god.
11
I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt *
open thy mouth wide, and I shall fill it.
12
But my people would not hear my voice *
and Israel would not obey me.
13
So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lusts *
and let them follow their own imaginations.
14
O that my people would have hearkened unto me *
for if Israel had walked in my ways,
15
I should soon have put down their enemies *
and turned my hand against their adversaries.
16
The haters of the Lord should have been found liars *
but their time should have endured for ever.
