诗篇 81

1 亚萨的诗，交与伶长。用迦特乐器。 你们当向 神—我们的力量大声欢呼， 向雅各的 神发声欢乐！

Unto the end, for the winepresses, a psalm for Asaph himself. Rejoice to God our helper: sing aloud to the God of Jacob.

2 唱起诗歌，打手鼓， 弹美琴与瑟。

Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel: the pleasant psaltery with the harp.

3 当在月朔并月望— 我们过节的日期吹角，

Blow up the trumpet on the new moon, on the noted day of your solemnity.

4 因这是为以色列定的律例， 是雅各 神的典章。

For it is a commandment in Israel, and a judgment to the God of Jacob.

5 他去攻击埃及地的时候， 在约瑟中间立此为证。 我在那里听见我所不明白的言语：

He ordained it for a testimony in Joseph, when he came out of the land of Egypt: he heard a tongue which he knew not.

6 神说：我使你的肩得脱重担， 你的手放下筐子。

He removed his back from the burdens: his hands had served in baskets.

7 你在急难中呼求，我就搭救你； 我在雷的隐密处应允你， 在米利巴水那里试验你。 (细拉)

Thou calledst upon me in affliction, and I delivered thee: I heard thee in the secret place of tempest: I proved thee at the waters of contradiction.

8 我的民哪，你当听，我要劝戒你； 以色列啊，甚愿你肯听从我。

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

9 在你当中，不可有别的神； 外邦的神，你也不可下拜。

There shall be no new god in thee: neither shalt thou adore a strange god.

10 我是耶和华—你的 神， 曾把你从埃及地领上来； 你要大大张口，我就给你充满。

For I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

11 无奈，我的民不听我的声音； 以色列全不理我。

But my people heard not my voice: and Israel hearkened not to me.

12 我便任凭他们心里刚硬， 随自己的计谋而行。

So I let them go according to the desires of their heart: they shall walk in their own inventions.

13 甚愿我的民肯听从我， 以色列肯行我的道，

If my people had heard me: if Israel had walked in my ways:

14 我便速速治服他们的仇敌， 反手攻击他们的敌人。

I should soon have humbled their enemies, and laid my hand on them that troubled them.

15 恨耶和华的人必来投降， 但他的百姓必永久长存。

The enemies of the Lord have lied to him: and their time shall be for ever.

16 他也必拿上好的麦子给他们吃， 又拿从磐石出的蜂蜜叫他们饱足。

And he fed them with the fat of wheat, and filled them with honey out of the rock.
