# ***PSALMS 81-82***

*Oh, That My People Would Listen to Me*

To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith. Of Asaph.

\[1\] Sing aloud to God our strength;

shout for joy to the God of Jacob!

\[2\] Raise a song; sound the tambourine,

the sweet lyre with the harp.

\[3\] Blow the trumpet at the new moon,

at the full moon, on our feast day.

\[4\] For it is a statute for Israel,

a rule of the God of Jacob.

\[5\] He made it a decree in Joseph

when he went out over the land of Egypt.

I hear a language I had not known:

\[6\] “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 Meribah. 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 not submit to me.

\[12\] So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts,

to follow their own counsels.

\[13\] Oh, that my people would listen to me,

that Israel would walk in my ways!

\[14\] I would soon subdue their enemies

and turn my hand against their foes.

\[15\] Those who hate the LORD would cringe toward him,

and their fate would last forever.

\[16\] But he would feed you with the finest of the wheat,

and with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”

*Rescue the Weak and Needy*

A Psalm of Asaph.

\[1\] God has taken his place in the divine council;

in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:

\[2\] “How long will you judge unjustly

and show partiality to the wicked? Selah

\[3\] Give justice to the weak and the fatherless;

maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.

\[4\] Rescue the weak and the needy;

deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”

\[5\] They have neither knowledge nor understanding,

they walk about in darkness;

all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

\[6\] I said, “You are gods,

sons of the Most High, all of you;

\[7\] nevertheless, like men you shall die,

and fall like any prince.”

\[8\] Arise, O God, judge the earth;

for you shall inherit all the nations! (ESV)
