audio words
	Psalm 81
1	Sing for joy to God our strength; shout aloud to the God of Jacob!
2	Begin the music, strike the tambourine, play the melodious harp and lyre.
3	Sound the ram's horn at the New Moon, and when the moon is full, on the day of our Feast;
4	this is a decree for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
5	He established it as a statute for Joseph when he went out against Egypt, where we heard a language we did not understand.
6	He says, 'I removed the burden from their shoulders; their hands were set free from the basket.
7	In your distress you called and I rescued you, I answered you out of a thundercloud; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah
8	'Hear, O my people, and I will warn you-if you would but listen to me, O Israel!
9	You shall have no foreign god among you; you shall not bow down to an alien god.
10	I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth and I will fill it.
11	'But my people would not listen to me; Israel would not submit to me.
12	So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.
13	'If my people would but listen to me, if Israel would follow my ways,
14	how quickly would I subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their foes!
15	Those who hate the LORD would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever.
16	But you would be fed with the finest of wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.'
	Psalm 82
1	God presides in the great assembly; he gives judgment among the 'gods':
2	'How long will you defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked? Selah
3	Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.
4	Rescue the weak and needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
5	'They know nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
6	"I said, 'You are "gods"; you are all sons of the Most High.'
7	But you will die like mere men; you will fall like every other ruler.'
8	Rise up, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are your inheritance.
	Psalm 83
1	O God, do not keep silent; be not quiet, O God, be not still.
2	See how your enemies are astir, how your foes rear their heads.
3	With cunning they conspire against your people; they plot against those you cherish.
4	'Come,' they say, 'let us destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel be remembered no more.'
5	With one mind they plot together; they form an alliance against you-
6	the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites,
7	Gebal, Ammon and Amalek, Philistia, with the people of Tyre.
8	Even Assyria has joined them to lend strength to the descendants of Lot. Selah
9	Do to them as you did to Midian, as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon,
10	who perished at Endor and became like refuse on the ground.
11	Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12	who said, 'Let us take possession of the pasturelands of God.'
13	Make them like tumbleweed, O my God, like chaff before the wind.
14	As fire consumes the forest or a flame sets the mountains ablaze,
15	so pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your storm.
16	Cover their faces with shame so that men will seek your name, O LORD.
17	May they ever be ashamed and dismayed; may they perish in disgrace.
18	Let them know that you, whose name is the LORD-that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.
	Psalm 84
1	How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD Almighty!
2	My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
3	Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young-a place near your altar, O LORD Almighty, my King and my God.
4	Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you. Selah
5	Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage.
6	As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools.
7	They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion.
8	Hear my prayer, O LORD God Almighty; listen to me, O God of Jacob. Selah
9	Look upon our shield, O God; look with favor on your anointed one.
10	Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11	For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.
12	O LORD Almighty, blessed is the man who trusts in you.
	Psalm 85
1	You showed favor to your land, O LORD; you restored the fortunes of Jacob.
2	You forgave the iniquity of your people and covered all their sins. Selah
3	You set aside all your wrath and turned from your fierce anger.
4	Restore us again, O God our Savior, and put away your displeasure toward us.
5	Will you be angry with us forever? Will you prolong your anger through all generations?
6	Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?
7	Show us your unfailing love, O LORD, and grant us your salvation.
8	I will listen to what God the LORD will say; he promises peace to his people, his saints-but let them not return to folly.
9	Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that his glory may dwell in our land.
10	Love and faithfulness meet together; righteousness and peace kiss each other.
11	Faithfulness springs forth from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven.
12	The LORD will indeed give what is good, and our land will yield its harvest.
13	Righteousness goes before him and prepares the way for his steps.
