Psalms 81 – Open Thy Mouth Wide and I Will Fill It
A festival call to worship that recalls Israel's deliverance.
This chapter of the Psalms overview calls for trumpets and timbrels at the new moon feast, turning the restored vine of Psalms 80 into a summons to celebrate God's past deliverance from Egypt.
The title of the oon and eiytetithe salm. Of Asaph. God stood in the synagoge of goddis; forsothe he demeth goddis in the myddil.
Hou longe demen ye wickidnesse; and taken the faces of synneris?
Deme ye to the nedi man, and to the modirles child; iustifie ye the meke man and pore.
Raueische ye out a pore man; and delyuere ye the nedi man fro the hond of the synner.
Thei knewen not, nether vndirstoden, thei goen in derknessis; alle the foundementis of erthe schulen be moued.
I seide, Ye ben goddis; and alle ye ben the sones of hiy God.
But ye schulen die as men; and ye schulen falle doun as oon of the princis.
Ryse, thou God, deme thou the erthe; for thou schalt haue eritage in alle folkis.
