Psalm 81:13–16

“If my people would only listen to me,

if Israel would only follow my ways,

how quickly I would subdue their enemies

and turn my hand against their foes!

Those who hate the Lord would cringe before him,

and their punishment would last forever.

But you would be fed with the finest of wheat;

with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”

If only my people would listen to me

and Israel would follow my ways,

I would quickly subdue their enemies

and turn my hand against their foes.”

Those who hate the Lord

would cower to him;

their doom would last forever.

But he would feed Israel with the best wheat.

“I would satisfy you with honey from the rock.”

Oh, that my people would listen to me!

Oh, that Israel would follow me, walking in my paths!

How quickly I would then subdue their enemies!

How soon my hands would be upon their foes!

Those who hate the Lord would cringe before him;

they would be doomed forever.

But I would feed you with the finest wheat.

I would satisfy you with wild honey from the rock.”

Oh that my people would listen to me;

that Israel would walk in my ways.

I would subdue their enemies quickly,

and turn my hand against their adversaries.

Those who hate Yahweh would cringe before him,

and their fate would be forever.

But he would feed him from the choicest wheat,

and I would satisfy you with honey from a rock.”

Oh that my people had hearkened unto me,

And Israel had walked in my ways!

I should soon have subdued their enemies,

And turned my hand against their adversaries.

The haters of the Lord should have submitted themselves unto him:

But their time should have endured for ever.

He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat:

And with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
