7  Thou didst call in trouble, and I rescued thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah

Ps80:7  You called upon me in tribulation, and I freed you. I heard you within the hidden tempest. I tested you with waters of contradiction.

7  He called on me in trouble, and I delivered him; I sheltered him under my glorious cover; I tested him at the waters of dispute.

8  Hear, O My people, and I will admonish thee: O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto Me!

8  Hear, my people, and I will speak to thee, O Israel; and I will testify to thee: if thou wilt hearken to me;

Ps80:8  My people, listen and I will call you to testify. If, O Israel, you will pay heed to me,

9  There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.

Ps80:9  then there will be no new god among you, nor will you adore a foreign god.

11  But My people hearkened not to My voice; and Israel would none of Me.

Ps80:12  And so, I sent them away, according to the desires of their heart. They will go forth according to their own inventions.

12  So they walked according to the desires of their own hearts and according to their own counsels.

13  Oh that My people would hearken unto Me, that Israel would walk in My ways!

14  I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn My hand against their adversaries.

14  I should have put down their enemies very quickly, and should have laid my hand upon those that afflicted them.

Ps80:14  I would have humbled their enemies, as if it were nothing, and I would have sent my hand upon those who troubled them.

15  The haters of YHWH should dwindle away before Him; and their punishment should endure for ever.

15  The Lord’s enemies should have lied to him: but their time shall be for ever.

Ps80:15  The enemies of the Lord have lied to him, and their time will come, in every age.

16  They should also be fed with the fat of wheat; and with honey out of the rock would I satisfy thee.'

16  And he fed them with the fat of wheat; and satisfied them with honey out of the rock.

16  He has fed them also with the finest of the wheat; and with honey out of the rock has he satisfied them.
