To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. [A Psalm] of Asaph.

81 Sing ye joyously unto God our strength, shout aloud unto the God of Jacob;

Raise a song, and sound the tambour, the pleasant harp with the lute.

Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the set time, on our feast day:

For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob;

He ordained it in Joseph [for] a testimony, when he went forth over the land of Egypt, [where] I heard a language that I knew not.

I removed his shoulder from the burden; his hands were freed from the basket.

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.

Hear, my people, and I will testify unto thee; O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto me!

There shall no strange god be in thee, neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.

10 I am Jehovah thy God, that brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

11 But my people hearkened not to my voice, and Israel would none of me.

12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' stubbornness: they walked after their own counsels.

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

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

15 The haters of Jehovah would have come cringing unto him; but their time would have been for ever.

16 And he would have fed them with the finest of wheat; yea, with honey out of the rock would I have satisfied thee.

A Psalm of Asaph.

82 God standeth in the assembly of God, he judgeth among the gods.

How long will ye judge unrighteously, and accept the person of the wicked? Selah.

Judge the poor and the fatherless, do justice to the afflicted and the destitute;

Rescue the poor and needy, deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

They know not, neither do they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are moved.

I have said, Ye are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High;

But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

Arise, O God, judge the earth; for *thou* shalt inherit all the nations.
