Psalm 80:8-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁸ Thou calledst upon me in affliction, and I delivered thee: I heard thee in the secret place of tempest: I proved thee at the waters of contradiction.

⁹ Hear, O my people, and I will testify to thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken to me,

¹⁰ There shall be no new god in thee: neither shalt thou adore a strange god.

¹¹ For I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

¹² But my people heard not my voice: and Israel hearkened not to me.

¹³ So I let them go according to the desires of their heart: they shall walk in their own inventions.

¹⁴ If my people had heard me: if Israel had walked in my ways:

¹⁵ I should soon have humbled their enemies, and laid my hand on them that troubled them.

¹⁶ The enemies of the Lord have lied to him: and their time shall be for ever.
