Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
All Commentaries on Psalms 81:1 Go To Psalms 81
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
When therefore they talk of such things, when they make such boasts, when they say these things, and say them in defiance, not with fear, but with loftiness, let them not disturb you. For suppose that pressures abound; be thou oil. Let the lees, black with the darkness of ignorance, be insolent; and let it, as though cast away in the streets, go gibing publicly: but do thou by thyself in thy heart, where He who seeth in secret will requite thee, strain off into the vat.
