Praise the Eternal with a Psalm! - Psalms 81

Praise the Eternal with a Psalm; sing to the God of Jacob Raise the chorus, make a joyful noise; bring out the harp and timbrel. Blow on the trumpet, sound the drum, On our solemn feast day; This is a statute and a law which God has ordained for Israel. "Hear, O my people, hear my voice; I will admonish Israel; You shall have no other foreign gods; I am the God who freed you. When you were troubled you did call; I delivered Israel." God answer'd in the secret place; with thunder He did command them. "I am the God who brought you out, out from the land of Egypt; Hear, O Israel, open wide your mouth; I surely then will fill it." But Israel would not heed God; they would have their own ways; O, if they only had obeyed, their God would have surely freed them. Praise the Eternal with a Psalm; sing to the God of Jacob Raise the chorus, make a joyful noise; bring out the harp and timbrel. Blow on the trumpet, sound the drum, On our solemn feast day; This is a statute and a law which God has ordained for Israel.
