Gen Z: Psalms 81
1Sing it loud for God, our strength! Let’s vibe and make some joyful noise for the God of Jacob.
2Grab a psalm and bring the timbrel, that sweet harp with the psaltery. This is gonna be lit!
3Blast the trumpet on the new moon, on our feast day, it’s time to pop off!
4This was a rule for Israel, straight from the God of Jacob, no cap.
5He set this up in Joseph as a testimony when he was in Egypt, and I heard a language that was sus.
6I took off his shoulder from the burden; his hands got freed from the pots.
7You called out in trouble, and I came through; I answered in the thunder's secret place: I tested you at Meribah's waters. Selah.
8Listen up, my people, I’m gonna testify to you: O Israel, if you just vibe with me;
9No strange god should be among you; don’t worship any sus gods.
10I’m the Lord your God who brought you outta Egypt: open your mouth wide, and I’ll fill it up.
11But my peeps wouldn’t listen to my voice; Israel was like, “Nah.”
12So I let them follow their own hearts’ desires, and they walked in their own vibes.
13Man, if only my people had listened to me, and Israel had followed my ways!
14I could’ve easily crushed their enemies and turned my hand against their haters.
15The haters of the Lord should’ve submitted, but their time would’ve lasted forever.
16I would’ve fed them the finest wheat and satisfied them with honey from the rock.
