Psalm 80 read:
1 Finally, O sharpeners, a psalm to Asaph
2 Rejoice in God our Helper, shout to the God of Jacob, 3 receive the psalm and give the tambourine, the beautiful psalter with the harp, 4 sound the trumpet in the new moon, on the blessed day of yore of your building, 5 for this is the commandment of Israel, and the destiny of the God of Jacob. 6 Place a testimony in Joseph, never having come out of the land of Egypt, whose tongue they had not heard. 7 His backbone has been taken away from his burden, his hand has been labored. 8 In tribulation you called Me, and I delivered you, having heard you in the secret storm, I tempted you on the waters of strife. 9 Hear, my people, and I testify to you, Israel, if you listen to Me. 10 You will not have a new god; you will worship a strange god. 11 For I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee forth from the land of Egypt; widen thy mouth, and I will do it. 12 And my people did not listen to my voice, and Israel did not listen to me: 13 and I sent them away according to the direction of their hearts, and they will go in their own ways. 14 If only My people had listened to Me, if Israel had walked in My way, 15 for nothing would His enemies have humbled Him, and My hand would have been laid on those who insulted them. 16 The Lord has lied to Him, and their time will endure forever. 17 And thou shalt satisfy them with the fatness of the wheat, and with the honey of the stone.
