Berean Standard Bible

“Sing for joy to God our strength; make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob.”

Psalms 81:1

Save as image

Study note

Psalms 81 was likely sung at one of Israel's festivals, calling the people to worship and then reminding them of God's past deliverance. It moves from joy to a gentle rebuke.
