Psalm 81
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 48 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 81:1 First Line: Sing to the Lord aloud Lyrics:
Sing to the Lord aloud,
And make a joyful noise;
God is our strength, our Savior God;
Let Isr'el hear his voice.
"From vile idolatry
Preserve my worship clean;
I am the Lord, who set thee free
From slavery and sin.
"Stretch thy desires abroad,
And I'll supply them well:
But if ye will refuse your God,
If Isr'el will rebel;
"I'll leave them," saith the Lord,
"To their own lusts a prey,
And let them run the dang'rous road,
'Tis their own chosen way.
"Yet, O! that all my saints
Would hearken to my voice!
Soon I would ease their sore complaints,
And bid their hearts rejoice.
"While I destroy their foes,
I'd richly feed my flock;
And they should taste the stream that flows
From their eternal rock."

Sing a Psalm of Joy
Psalm 81: Sing loud to God our strength; with joy
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 81 First Line: Sing loud to God our strength; with joy Lyrics:
1Sing loud to God our strength; with joy
to Jacob’s God do sing.
2Take up a psalm, the pleasant harp,
timbrel and psalt’ry bring.
3Blow trumpets at new-moon, what day
our feast appointed is:
4For charge to Isr’el, and a law
of Jacob’s God was this.
5To Joseph this a testimony
he made, when Egypt land
He travell’d through, where speech I heard
I did not understand.
6His shoulder I from burdens took,
his hands from pots did free.
7Thou didst in trouble on me call,
and I deliver’d thee:
In secret place of thundering
I did thee answer make;
And at the streams of Meribah
of thee a proof did take.
8O thou, my people, give an ear,
I’ll testify to thee;
To thee, O Isr’el, if thou wilt
but hearken unto me.
9In midst of thee there shall not be
any strange god at all;
Nor unto any god unknown
thou bowing down shalt fall.
10I am the Lord thy God, which did
from Egypt land thee guide;
I’ll fill thy mouth abundantly,
do thou it open wide.
11But yet my people to my voice
would not attentive be;
And ev’n my chosen Israel
he would have none of me.
12So to the lust of their own hearts
I them delivered;
And then in counsels of their own
they vainly wandered.
13O that my people had me heard,
Isr’el my ways had chose!
14I had their en’mies soon subdu’d,
my hand turn’d on their foes.
15The haters of the Lord to him
submission should have feign’d;
But as for them, their time should have
for evermore remain’d.
16He should have also fed them with
the finest of the wheat;
Of honey from the rock thy fill
I should have made thee eat.

O God, our strength, to thee the song
To God, our never failing strength
Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 81 Lyrics: 1 To God, our never-failing Strength,
with loud applauses sing;
And jointly make a chearful Noise
to Jacob's awful King.
2 Compose a Hymn of Praise, and touch
your Instruments of Joy:
Let Psalteries and pleasant Harps,
your grateful Skill employ.
3 Let Trumpets at the great new Moon
their joyful Voices raise,
To celebrate th' appointed time,
the solemn Day of Praise.
4 For this a Statute was of old,
which Jacob's God decreed
To be with pious Care observ'd
by Isr'el's chosen Seed.
5 This He for a Memorial fix'd,
when freed from Egypt's Land;
Strange Nations barb'rous Speech we heard,
but could not understand.
6 Your butthen'd Shoulders I reliev'd,
(thus seem'd our God to say)
Your servile Hands by me were freed
from lab'ring in the Clay.
7 Your Ancestors, with Wrongs oppress'd,
to me for Aid did call:
With Pity I their Suff'rings saw,
and set them free from all.
They fought for me, and from the clouds
in thunder I reply'd:
At Meribah's contentious Stream
their Faith and Duty try'd.
8 While I my solemn Will declare,
my chosen People, hear:
If thou, O Isr'el, to my Words
wilt lend thy list'ning Ear;
9 Then shall no God besides myself
within thy Coasts be found:
Nor shalt thou worship any God
of all the nations round.
10 The Lord thy God am I, who thee
brought forth from Egypt's Land:
'Tis I that all thy just Desires
supply with lib'ral Hand.
11 But they, my chosen Race, refus'd
to hearken to my Voice;
Nor would rebellious Isr'el's Sons
make me their happy Choice.
12 So I provok'd, resign'd them up,
to ev'ry Lust a Prey;
And in their own perverse Designs
permitted them to stray.
13 O that my People wisely would
my just Commandments heed!
And Isr'el in my righteous Ways
with pious Care proceed!
14 Then should my heavy Judgments fall
on all that them oppose;
And my avenging Hand be turn'd
against their num'rous Foes.
15 Their Enemies and mine should all
before my Footstool bend:
But as for them, their happy State
should never know an End.
16 All Parts with Plenty should abound;
with finest Wheat their Field:
The barren Rocks, to please their Taste,
should richest Honey yield.

A Psalm of Asaph
Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 81 First Line: O to the mighty God our strength Lyrics: 1 O to the mighty GOD our strength
sing with a shouting voice;
O to the God of Jacob sing
and make a joyful noise.
2 Take up a psalm, the timbrel bring,
and with your voices join;
The pleasant harp and psaltery,
in consort sweet combine.
3 At the new moon, let trumpets blow,
and joyful voices raise.
To celebrate th' appointed time,
the solemn day of praise.
4 For this to Israel of old
a sacred precept was,
And by the God of Jacob this
Did for a statute pass.
5 This witness He in Joseph set,
when from th' Egyptian shore
They went, and heard a voice and speech,
they never heard before.
6 I from the heavy burthens took
their shoulders clear away;
And I their servile hands set free
from lab'ring in the clay.
7 When thou wast in great trouble, thou
To Me for aid dist call;
With pity your distress I saw,
and set you free from all.
From thunder clouds I answer'd thee,
my secret place on high,
And at the streams of Meribah,
I thro'ly did thee try.
[2 Part]
8 Hear, O my people, and my mind
I'll testify to thee;
To thee,O Isr'el, if thou wilt,
but hearken now to Me:
9 Then know, that a strange God in thee,
I never will allow;
Never to any other God,
shalt thou presume to bow.
10 I am the LORD thy God who thee
from land of Egypt led;
Open thy mouth, and thou by Me
with plenty shalt be fed.
11 My people yet would not give ear,
To the kind voice I spake;
And Israel would not in me,
Their full contentment take.
12 So to the bents of their own hearts,
I gave them up a prey;
And in their foolish counsels then
I let them go astray.
13 O that my people Me had heard,
and did my voice obey;
That Isr'el had obedient been,
and walked in my way;
14 I should within a little time
Have pulled down their foes;
And should have turn'd my hand upon,
Such as against them rose.
15 The haters of the LORD had then
submission paid, tho' feign'd;
But his own people's happy time
should ever have remain'd.
16 Yea with the finest of the wheat
Have nourish'd them should He;
With honey of the Rock I should
Have satisfied thee.
A Psalm of Asaph
