Praise The Eternal With A Psalm!
Psalm 81
Dwight Armstrong

Praise the Eternal with a Psalm; sing to the God of Jacob
Raise the chorus, make a joyful noise; bring out the harp and timbrel.
Blow on the trumpet, sound the drum, On our solemn feast day;
This is a statute and a law which God has ordained for Isr'el.

"Hear, O my people, hear my voice; I will admonish Isr'el;
You shall have no other foreign gods; I am the God who freed you.
When you were troubled you did call; I delivered Isr'el."
God answer'd in the secret place; with thunder He did command them.

"I am the God who brought you out, out from the land of Egypt;
Hear, O Isr'el, open wide your mouth; I surely then will fill it."
But Israel would not heed God; they would have their own ways;
O, if they only had obeyed, their God would have surely freed them.

Praise the Eternal with a Psalm; sing to the God of Jacob
Raise the chorus, make a joyful noise; bring out the harp and timbrel.
Blow on the trumpet, sound the drum, On our solemn feast day;
This is a statute and a law which God has ordained for Isr'el.
