Psalms 81

1 To the chief music-maker; put to the Gittith. Of Asaph. Make a song to God our strength: make a glad cry to the God of Jacob.

To the choirmaster - on the Gittith of Asaph. Sing for joy to God strength our shout for joy to [the] God of Jacob.

2 Take up the melody, playing on an instrument of music, even on corded instruments.

Lift up music and beat a tambourine a harp pleasant with a lyre.

3 Let the horn be sounded in the time of the new moon, at the full moon, on our holy feast-day:

Blow at the new moon a ram's horn at the full moon to [the] day of festival our.

4 For this is a rule for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.

For [is] a decree for Israel it an ordinance of [the] God of Jacob.

5 He gave it to Joseph as a witness, when he went out over the land of Egypt; then the words of a strange tongue were sounding in my ears.

A testimony - in Joseph he established it when went out he on [the] land of Egypt a language [which] not I knew I heard.

6 I took the weight from his back; his hands were made free from the baskets.

I removed from a burden shoulder his hands his from a basket they passed away.

7 You gave a cry in your trouble, and I made you free; I gave you an answer in the secret place of the thunder; I put you to the test at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)

In trouble you called out and I rescued you I answered you in [the] hiding place of thunder I tested you at [the] waters of Meribah (Selah)

8 Give ear, O my people, and I will give you my word, O Israel, if you will only do as I say!

Listen O people my so let me warn you O Israel if you will listen to me.

9 There is to be no strange god among you; you are not to give worship to any other god.

Not it will be among you a god strange and not you must bow down to a god of foreignness.

10 I am the Lord your God, who took you up from the land of Egypt: let your mouth be open wide, so that I may give you food.

I - [am] Yahweh God your who brought up you from [the] land of Egypt make large mouth your and I will fill it.

11 But my people did not give ear to my voice; Israel would have nothing to do with me.

And not it listened people my to voice my and Israel not it yielded to me.

12 So I gave them up to the desires of their hearts; that they might go after their evil purposes.

And I gave over it in [the] stubbornness of heart their they walked in own schemes their.

13 If only my people would give ear to me, walking in my ways!

If people my [will be] listening to me Israel in ways my they will walk.

14 I would quickly overcome their haters: my hand would be turned against those who make war on them.

Like a little enemies their I will subdue and on opponents their I will turn hand my.

15 The haters of the Lord would be broken, and their destruction would be eternal.

[those who] hate Yahweh They will cringe to him and may it be time their for ever.

16 I would give them the best grain for food; you would be full of honey from the rock.

And he fed him from [the] best of [the] wheat and from a rock honey I will satisfy you.
