For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. + 81:1 Gittith is probably a musical or liturgical term; here and in Psalms 8 and 84. Of Asaph.
Sing for Joy to God Our Strength
811Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.+2Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.+3Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.+4For this
was a statute for Israel,
and a law of the God of Jacob.+5This he ordained in Joseph
for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt:
where I heard a language
that
I understood not.+6I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.+7Thou 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.+8Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;+9There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.+10I
am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.+11But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.+12So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust:
and they walked in their own counsels.+13Oh that my people had hearkened unto me,
and Israel had walked in my ways!+14I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.+15The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.+16He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.+
