Psalms 81:8 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 81:8
God speaks to Israel: "Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me" (Hebrew sh-ma ammi v-a-idah b-kha Yisra-el im-tish-ma li). "Hear" (Hebrew shema) echoes Deuteronomy 6:4, the Shema. "I will testify" (Hebrew ud) indicates covenant lawsuit—God bears witness. "If thou wilt hearken" makes blessing conditional on obedience. The verse is tender appeal: God desires relationship, pleading with His people to listen. Covenant love motivates divine testimony.
