  1. Psalm 81:1 Probably a musical or liturgical term

10 (A)I am the Lord your God,
    who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
    (B)Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

11 “But my people did not listen to my voice;
    Israel (C)would not submit to me.
12 So I (D)gave them over to their (E)stubborn hearts,
    to follow their own (F)counsels.
13 (G)Oh, that my people would listen to me,
    that Israel would (H)walk in my ways!
14 I would soon subdue their enemies
    and (I)turn my hand against their foes.
15 Those who hate the Lord would (J)cringe toward him,
    and their fate would last forever.
16 But he would feed you[a] with (K)the finest of the wheat,
    and with (L)honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
