Psalms 80:4-16

⁴For this is an ordinance for Israel, and a statute of the God of Jacob.

⁵He made 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.

⁶He removed his back from burdens: his hands slaved in making the baskets.

⁷You did call upon me in trouble, and I delivered you; I heard you in the secret place of the storm: I proved you at the water of Strife. Pause.

⁸Hear, my people, and I will speak to you, O Israel; and I will testify to you: if you will listen to me;

⁹there shall be no new god in you; neither shall you worship a strange god.

¹⁰For I am the Lord your God, that brought you out of the land of Egypt: open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

¹¹But my people listened not to my voice; and Israel gave no heed to me.

¹²So I let them go after the ways of their own hearts: they will go on in their own ways.

¹³If my people had listened to me, if Israel had walked in my ways,

¹⁴I should have put down their enemies very quickly, and should have laid my hand upon those that afflicted them.

¹⁵The Lord's enemies should have lied to him: but their time shall be for ever.

¹⁶And he fed them with the fat of wheat; and satisfied them with honey out of the rock.
