Psalms 81
Book of Psalms
Psalms 81:1 To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of Asaph. Sing aloud
unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the
psaltery.
3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn
feast day.
4 For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.
5 This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land
of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.
6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the
pots.
7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret
place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.
8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt
hearken unto me;
9 There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange
god.
10 I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy
mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11 But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.
12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own
counsels.
13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!
14 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their
adversaries.
15 The haters of the Lord should have submitted themselves unto him: but their
time should have endured for ever.
16 He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out
of the rock should I have satisfied thee.

(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)
