Selah.* 8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me; 9 There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god. 10 I *am* the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. 11 But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me. 12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust: *and* they walked in their own counsels.* 13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, *and* Israel had walked in my ways! 14 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries. 15 The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.* 16 He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.* [Psalms 80](/study/psalms/80) [Psalms 82](/study/psalms/82) ## Commentary To verse 1 **A Psalm:** Some suppose this Psalm to have been composed to be sung at the feast of Trumpets, before the time of David; and others think it was written at the removal of the ark to Mount Zion; but the most probable opinion is, that it was sung at the dedication of the second temple. **of Asaph:** or, for Asaph **Sing:** [Psalms 67:4](/kjv/psalms/67/4), [Jeremiah 31:7](/kjv/jeremiah/31/7) **our strength:** [Psalms 18:1](/kjv/psalms/18/1), [Psalms 18:2](/kjv/psalms/18/2), [Psalms 28:7](/kjv/psalms/28/7), [Psalms 52:7](/kjv/psalms/52/7), [Philippians 4:13](/kjv/philippians/4/13) **make:** [Psalms 33:1-3](/kjv/psalms/33/1-3), [Psalms 46:1-7](/kjv/psalms/46/1-7), [Psalms 66:1](/kjv/psalms/66/1), [Psalms 100:1](/kjv/psalms/100/1), [Psalms 100:2](/kjv/psalms/100/2) **the God:** [Psalms 46:11](/kjv/psalms/46/11), [Genesis 50:17](/kjv/genesis/50/17), [Matthew 22:32](/kjv/matthew/22/32) **Reciprocal:** [Leviticus 23:24](/kjv/leviticus/23/24) -
