Psalms 81:1-10

Sing aloud to God our strength; Shout for joy to the God of Jacob (Israel). Raise a song, sound the timbrel, The sweet sounding lyre with the harp. Blow the trumpet at the New Moon, At the full moon, on our feast day. For this is a statute for Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob.

[Num 20:3, 13, 24] Selah. “Hear, O My people, and I will admonish you— O Israel, if you would listen to Me! “Let there be no strange god among you, Nor shall you worship any foreign god. “I am the LORD your God, Who brought you up from the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.
