9 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee, O Israel! Oh, if only you would listen to Me!

10 Thou shalt have no other god, neither shall thou worship a foreign god.

11 I am the LORD thy God, who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt; open your mouth, and I will fill it."

12 But my people have not listened to my voice, and Israel has not submitted to me;

13 therefore I have left them to the stubbornness of their hearts, let them walk in their own thoughts.

14 Oh, that my people would listen to me, and that Israel would walk in my ways!

15 I would soon humble their enemies, and set my hand against their oppressors.

16 Those who hate the Lord would fawn on them, and their prosperity would last forever.

17 I would feed them with the fat of wheat, and feed them with honey out of the rock.

Psalm 81

Psalm of Asaph.

1 God became in the assembly of the gods; Among the gods he pronounced judgment:

2 How long wilt ye judge unrighteously, and show partiality to the wicked?

3 Give judgment to the poor and the fatherless; do justice to the oppressed and the poor;

4 deliver the poor and needy; pluck it out of the hand of the wicked.

5 They do not know, they do not understand, they walk in darkness; All the foundations of the earth are shaking.

6 I said, You are gods, and you are all sons of the Most High;

7 but ye shall die as men, and fall as every prince.

8 Arise, O God, judge the earth, for thou art the heir of all nations.

Psalm 82
