Psalms 81:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 81:8

6 “I removed his shoulder from the burden;
His hands were freed from the baskets.

7 ^aYou called in trouble, and I delivered you;
^bI answered you in the secret place of thunder;
I ^ctested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah

8 “Hear,^a O My people, and I will admonish you!
O Israel, if you will listen to Me!

9 There shall be no ^aforeign god among you;
Nor shall you worship any foreign god.

10 ^aI am the Lord your God,
Who brought you out of the land of Egypt;
^bOpen your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

11 “But My people would not heed My voice,
And Israel would have ^anone of Me.

12 ^aSo I gave them over to¹ their own stubborn heart,
To walk in their own counsels.

13 “Oh,^a that My people would listen to Me,
That Israel would walk in My ways!

14 I would soon subdue their enemies,
And turn My hand against their adversaries.

15 ^aThe haters of the Lord would pretend submission to Him,
But their¹ fate would endure forever.

16 He would ^ahave fed them also with the finest of wheat;
And with honey ^bfrom the rock I would have satisfied you.”
