Psalm 81:11 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 81:11

But my people would not hearken to my voice
Neither as exhorting them to the above duties, nor as promising the above favours; would neither hearken to the voice of the law, nor to the voice of the Gospel; but were like the deaf adder, which stops its ear to the voice of the charmer, charming never so wisely:

and Israel would none of me;
would not attend to his word, acquiesce in his will, nor delight themselves in him, and in his worship and service; would have none of his salutary doctrines, or wholesome reproofs, nor of his laws and government; would not have him to reign over them, nor to be their Saviour, though the only one, and there is none beside him; though the chiefest good, and from whom all good things come, and is the portion and exceeding great reward of his people: see ( Proverbs 1:25 Proverbs 1:30 ) .

Psalm 81:11 In-Context

9 não haverá em ti deus estranho, nem te prostrarás ante um deus estrangeiro.

10 Eu sou o Senhor teu Deus, que te tirei da terra do Egito; abre bem a tua boca, e eu a encherei.

11 Mas o meu povo não ouviu a minha voz, e Israel não me quis.

12 Pelo que eu os entreguei � obstinação dos seus corações, para que andassem segundo os seus próprios conselhos.

13 Oxalá me escutasse o meu povo! oxalá Israel andasse nos meus caminhos!
