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 Jamás debes tener un dios extranjero;
nunca debes inclinarte frente a un dios falso.

10 Pues fui yo, el Señor
tu Dios,
quien te rescató de la tierra de Egipto.
Abre bien tu boca, y la llenaré de cosas buenas.

11 »Pero no, mi pueblo no quiso escuchar;
Israel no quiso que estuviera cerca.

12 Así que dejé que siguiera sus tercos deseos,
y que viviera según sus propias ideas.

13 ¡Oh, si mi pueblo me escuchara!
¡Oh, si Israel me siguiera y caminara por mis senderos!
