Psalm 81:7-16

Listen to Psalm 81:7-16
7 Tu as crié dans la détresse, et je t'ai délivré; Je t'ai répondu dans la retraite du tonnerre; Je t'ai éprouvé près des eaux de Meriba. Pause.
8 Ecoute, mon peuple! et je t'avertirai; Israël, puisses-tu m'écouter!
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!
14 En un instant je confondrais leurs ennemis, Je tournerais ma main contre leurs adversaires;
15 Ceux qui haïssent l'Eternel le flatteraient, Et le bonheur d'Israël durerait toujours;
16 Je le nourrirais du meilleur froment, Et je le rassasierais du miel du rocher.

Psalm 81:7-16 Meaning and Commentary

To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A [Psalm] of Asaph. Of "gittith," See Gill on "Ps 8:1." The Targum renders it, "upon the harp which came from Gath;" and so Jarchi says it was a musical instrument that came from Gath. The Septuagint, and the versions which follow that, render it, "for the winepresses." This psalm, according to Kimchi, is said concerning the going out of the children of Israel from Egypt; and was composed in order to be sung at their new moons and solemn feasts, which were typical of Gospel things in Gospel times; see Colossians 2:16 and so the Syriac version, "a psalm of Asaph, when David by him prepared himself for the solemnities."
