Joe: Alright, so what can you tell us about Psalms 81?
Bible Expert: Psalm 81 is a song of praise to God. It starts with a call to worship and then transitions into a reminder of God's deliverance and protection of His people. The psalmist then encourages the people to trust in God, and to not forget His covenant with them.
Joe: Wow, that's amazing. Does it go into any more detail about God's deliverance?
Bible Expert: Yes, it does. The psalmist recalls how God brought the Israelites out of Egypt and how He protected them in the wilderness. He then speaks of how God was always there to provide for them in times of need.
Joe: Wow, so God was always there for them no matter what?
Bible Expert: Absolutely, the psalmist even goes so far as to say that if the people had only obeyed God, they would have been blessed with abundance.
Joe: That's incredible! What else does the psalm say?
Bible Expert: The psalmist then calls on the people to recognize God's greatness and to praise Him. He concludes with a warning to turn away from idolatry and to instead put their trust in the Lord.
Joe: That's really powerful stuff. Jamie, make sure to record this so we can play it on the podcast.
