Psalm 81:11

11 Mais mon peuple n'a point écouté ma voix, Israël ne m'a point obéi.

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 Qu'il n'y ait au milieu de toi point de dieu étranger! Ne te prosterne pas devant des dieux étrangers!

10 Je suis l'Eternel, ton Dieu, qui t'ai fait monter du pays d'Egypte; Ouvre ta bouche, et je la remplirai.

11 Mais mon peuple n'a point écouté ma voix, Israël ne m'a point obéi.

12 Alors je les ai livrés aux penchants de leur coeur, Et ils ont suivi leurs propres conseils.

13 Oh! si mon peuple m'écoutait, Si Israël marchait dans mes voies!
