Psalms 81:8-10 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Reader! let us for a moment drop Israel's history, to which these verses refer, to look into our own. We know how the Lord delivered Israel upon the several occasions here described; but may not you and I conceive, without violence to the words, that Jesus speaks to us in the same gracious language? Oh! precious Lord! let there be no strange god in our hearts! Forbid that we ever set up the idol there. But do thou open our mouth, open our hearts, and fill us with thyself, that we may live to thee and to thy glory!

Psalms 81:8-10

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.
