PSALM 81:1, 10-16

1 Sing with joy to God our strength *

   and raise a loud shout to the God of Jacob.

10 I am the Lord your God,

   who brought you out of the land of Egypt and said, *

   "Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it."

11 And yet my people did not hear my voice, *

   and Israel would not obey me.

12 So I gave them over to the stubbornness of their hearts, *

   to follow their own devices.

13 Oh, that my people would listen to me! *

   that Israel would walk in my ways!

14 I should soon subdue their enemies *

   and turn my hand against their foes.

15 Those who hate the Lord would cringe before him, *

   and their punishment would last for ever.

16 But Israel would I feed with the finest wheat *
