                    Praise the Eternal With A Psalm!
                               Psalm 81


1.   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.

2.   "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.

3.   "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.

4.   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.
