Psalms 81:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 81:5

3 Blow the trumpet at the time of the New Moon,
At the full moon, on our solemn feast day.

4 For ^athis is a statute for Israel,
A law of the God of Jacob.

5 This He established in Joseph as a testimony,
When He went throughout the land of Egypt,
^aWhere I heard a language I did not understand.

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.
