Psalms 81:1-7 Modern English Version (MEV)

1. Sing aloud unto God our strength;make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.

2. Lift up a melody, and sound the tambourine,the pleasant lyre with the harp.

3. Blow the trumpet at the New Moon,at the full moon on our feast day.

4. For this is a statute for Israel,a decree of the God of Jacob.

5. This He ordained in Joseph as a decreewhen He went out against the land of Egypt.I heard a voice that I had not known:

6. “I removed his shoulder from the burden;his hands were released from holding the basket.

7. You called in trouble, and I delivered you;I answered you in the secret place of thunder;I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah
