1 Sing aloud to God our strength; shout for joy to the God of Jacob! 2 Raise a song; sound the tambourine, the sweet lyre with the harp. 3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the full moon, on our feast day.
Psalm 81 10-14 I am the Lord your God, the one who brought you out of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. “But my people did not listen to me.Israel wanted nothing to do with me. So I let them go their own stubborn ways and follow their own advice. If only my people would listen to me! If only Israel would follow me! I would quickly defeat their enemies. I would turn my power against their foes.
Psalm 82 The Voice 1 The True God stands to preside over the heavenly council. He pronounces judgment on the so-called gods. 2 He asks: “How long will you judge dishonestly and be partial to the wicked?” [pause] 3 “Stand up for the poor and the orphan; advocate for the rights of the afflicted and those in need. 4 Deliver the poor and the needy; rescue them from their evil oppressors.” 5 These bullies are ignorant; they have no understanding of My ways. So as they walk in darkness, the foundations of the earth tremble. 6 I said, “Though you are gods and children of the Most High, 7 You will die no differently than any mortal; you will fall like one of the princes.” 8 Rise up, O True God; judge the rulers of the earth, for all the nations are Yours.

1 The True God stands to preside over the heavenly council.
He pronounces judgment on the so-called gods.
2 He asks: “How long will you judge dishonestly
and be partial to the wicked?”
[pause]
3 “Stand up for the poor and the orphan;
advocate for the rights of the afflicted and those in need.
4 Deliver the poor and the needy;
rescue them from their evil oppressors.”
5 These bullies are ignorant; they have no understanding of My ways.
So as they walk in darkness,
the foundations of the earth tremble.
6 I said, “Though you are gods
and children of the Most High,
7 You will die no differently than any mortal;
you will fall like one of the princes.”
8 Rise up, O True God; judge the rulers of the earth, for all the nations are Yours.
