Psalms 81:1-6

¹To the Overseer. — 'On the Gittith.' By Asaph. Cry aloud to God our strength, Shout to the God of Jacob.

²Lift up a song, and give out a timbrel, A pleasant harp with psaltery.

³Blow in the month a trumpet, In the new moon, at the day of our festival,

⁴For a statute to Israel it is, An ordinance of the God of Jacob.

⁵A testimony on Joseph He hath placed it, In his going forth over the land of Egypt. A lip, I have not known — I hear.

⁶From the burden his shoulder I turned aside, His hands from the basket pass over.
