Psalm 80
1 For the end, a Psalm for [1]David, concerning the wine-presses.
2 Rejoice ye in God our helper;
shout aloud to the God of Jacob.
3 Take a psalm, and produce the timbrel,
the pleasant psaltery with the harp.
4 Blow the trumpet at the new moon,
in the glorious day of [2]your feast.
5 For this is an ordinance for Israel,
and a statute of the God of Jacob.
6 He made [3]it to be a testimony in Joseph,
when he came forth out of the land of Egypt:
he heard a language which he understood not.
7 He removed his back from burdens:
his hands slaved in making the baskets.
8 Thou didst call upon me in trouble, and I delivered thee;
I heard thee in the secret place of the storm:
I proved thee at the water of [4]Strife.
Pause.
9 Hear, my people, and I will speak to thee, O Israel;
and I will testify to thee: if thou wilt hearken to me;
10 there shall be no new god in thee;
neither shalt thou worship a strange god.
11 For I am the Lord thy God,
that brought thee out of the land of Egypt:
open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
12 But my people hearkened not to my voice;
and Israel gave no heed to me.
13 So I let them go after the ways of their own hearts:
they will go on in their own ways.
14 If my people had hearkened to me,
if Israel had walked in my ways,
15 I should have put down their enemies very quickly,
and should have laid my hand upon those that afflicted them.
16 The Lord’s enemies should have lied to him:
but [5]their time shall be for ever.
17 And he fed them with the fat of wheat;
and satisfied them with honey out of the rock.
