Sing Songs of Praise to Him!-Psalm 81

1.Praise the Eternal with aPsalm; sing songs of praise to Him! Play on the
timbrel and the harp, and make a joyful noise! This is a statute and a law
God has ordained for us, In the appointed time to keep; this do on God's
most solemn feast!

2.Blow on the trumpet; sing aPsalm; make joyful noise to God! He has
delivered us from sin, saved us from Egypt's land! We cried to God in
bondage there; God heard and answered us; From thunderclouds He
answered us: "Hear, O My people, hear My words!"

3.But His own people would not hear; they would not hear His voice; They
only wanted their own way, following their own hearts. "O that My people
would obey, walking in all My ways! I should have soon delivered them,
turned My hand against their foes!"
