Psalms 81:14 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 81:14

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.”
