Psalms 81:7-13

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 wouldest hearken unto me!

⁹There shall no strange god be in thee; Neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.

¹⁰I am Jehovah thy God, Who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

¹¹But my people hearkened not to my voice; And Israel would none of me.

¹²So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, That they might walk in their own counsels.

¹³Oh that my people would hearken unto me, That Israel would walk in my ways!
