Psalm 81:10–16

I am the Lord your God,

who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.

Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

“But my people did not listen to my voice;

Israel would not submit to me.

So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts,

to follow their own counsels.

Oh, that my people would listen to me,

that Israel would walk in my ways!

I would soon subdue their enemies

and turn my hand against their foes.

Those who hate the Lord would cringe toward him,

and their fate would last forever.

But he would feed you with the finest of the wheat,

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

I am the Lord your God,

who brought you up out of Egypt.

Open wide your mouth and I will fill it.

“But my people would not listen to me;

Israel would not submit to me.

So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts

to follow their own devices.

“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.”

I am the Lord your God,

who brought you up from the land of Egypt.

Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

“But my people did not listen to my voice;

Israel did not obey me.

So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts

to follow their own plans.

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.”

For it was I, the Lord your God,

who rescued you from the land of Egypt.

Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it with good things.

“But no, my people wouldn’t listen.

Israel did not want me around.

So I let them follow their own stubborn desires,

living according to their own ideas.

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.”

I am Yahweh your God,

who brought you up from the land of Egypt.

Open wide your mouth and I will fill it.

But my people did not listen to my voice,

and Israel did not yield to me.

So I let them go in the stubbornness of their heart;

they walked in their counsels.

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.”

I am the Lord thy God,

Which brought thee out of the land of Egypt:

Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

But my people would not hearken to my voice;

And Israel would none of me.

So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust:

And they walked in their own counsels.

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.
