Psalm 81:1-7
Psalm 81
For the director of music. According to gittith. A psalm of Asaph.
Sing joyfully to God! He gives us strength.
Give a loud shout to the God of Jacob!
Let the music begin. Play the tambourines.
Play sweet music on harps and lyres.
Blow the ram’s horn on the day of the New Moon feast.
Blow it again when the moon is full and the Feast of Booths begins.
This is an order given to Israel.
It is a law of the God of Jacob.
He gave it as a covenant law for the people of Joseph.
It was given when God went out to punish Egypt.
There I heard a voice I didn’t recognize.
The voice said, “I removed the load from your shoulders.
I set your hands free from carrying heavy baskets.
You called out when you were in trouble, and I saved you.
I answered you out of a thundercloud.
I tested you at the waters of Meribah.
