Psalm 81:9-16

Oh, That My People Would 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 O that my people would listen to me,
that Israel would walk in my ways!
¹⁴ Then I would quickly subdue their enemies,
and turn my hand against their foes.
¹⁵ Those who hate the Lord would cringe before him,
and their doom would last forever.
¹⁶ I would feed you ₁ with the finest of the wheat,
and with honey from the rock I would satisfy you."
