The speech of one that I knew not did I hear:\n81:7 'I removed his shoulder from the burden; His hands were freed from the basket.\n81:8 Thou didst call in trouble, and I rescued thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah\n81:9 Hear, O My people, and I will admonish thee: O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto Me!\n81:10 There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.\n81:11 I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt; open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.\n81:12 But My people hearkened not to My voice; and Israel would none of Me.\n81:13 So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, that they might walk in their own counsels.\n81:14 Oh that My people would hearken unto Me, that Israel would walk in My ways!\n81:15 I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn My hand against their adversaries.\n81:16 The haters of the Lord should dwindle away before Him; and their punishment should endure for ever.\n81:17 They should also be fed with the fat of wheat; and with honey out of the rock would I satisfy thee.'","title":"Jewish Publication Society Bible: Psalms 81","type":"page"}
