Psalm 80 — The Holy Bible

For the End; concerning the winepresses; a psalm for Asaph.

Rejoice in God our helper;

Rejoice greatly in the living God.

Take up a psalm and sound a timbrel,

a pleasant psaltery with a harp;

Sound a trumpet in the new moon

On this honorable day of our feast;

For this is an ordinance for Israel

And a judgment by the God of Jacob.

He made it a testimony in Joseph

When he went out from the land of Egypt;

He heard a tongue he knew not;

He removed his back from forced labors;

His hands served in the basket.

You called upon Me in affliction, and I delivered you;

I heard you in the secret place of the storm;

I tested you at the water of Rebellion.

(Pause)

Listen, O My people, for I testify to you;

Listen, O Israel, if you hear Me:

There shall be no new god among you,

Nor shall you worship an alien god;

I am the Lord your God,

Who brought you up from the land of Egypt;

Open wide your mouth, and I will fill it.

But My people did not hear My voice,

And Israel would pay no attention to Me.

And I sent them away because of the desires in their hearts;

They shall walk in their ways of living.

If My people had heard Me,

If Israel had walked in My ways,

I would have humbled their enemies quickly;

And I would have laid My hand on those oppressing them.

The Lord's enemies lied to Him,

And their time shall be forever.

He fed them with the finest of wheat

And satisfied them with honey from the rock.
