Psalm 81:1

Verse 1 of 16. The 81st of 150 chapters in Psalms, in Poetry and Wisdom.

1For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. By Asaph. Sing aloud to God, our strength! Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob!

2Raise a song, and bring here the tambourine, the pleasant lyre with the harp.

3Blow the trumpet at the New Moon, at the full moon, on our feast day.

4For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.

5He appointed it in Joseph for a covenant, when he went out over the land of Egypt, I heard a language that I didn’t know.
