Psalms 81:7-15

1. 7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.

2. 8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;

3. 9 There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.

4. 10 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

5. 11 But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.

6. 12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels.

7. 13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!

8. 14 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.

9. 15 The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.
