< Psalms 81 >
1 For the end, a Psalm for Asaph, concerning the wine presses. Rejoice you in God our helper; shout aloud 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 a psalm, and produce the timbrel, the pleasant lute with the harp.
Lift up music and beat a tambourine a harp pleasant with a lyre.
3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, in the glorious day of your feast.
Blow at the new moon a ram's horn at the full moon to [the] day of festival our.
4 For [this] is an ordinance for Israel, and a statute of the God of Jacob.
For [is] a decree for Israel it an ordinance of [the] God of Jacob.
5 He made it [to be] a testimony in Joseph, when he came forth out of the land of Egypt: he heard a language which he understood not.
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 He removed his back from burdens: his hands slaved in making the baskets.
I removed from a burden shoulder his hands his from a basket they passed away.
7 You did call upon me in trouble, and I delivered you; I heard you in the secret place of the storm: I proved you at the water of Strife. (Pause)
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 Hear, my people, and I will speak to you, O Israel; and I will testify to you: if you will listen to me;
Listen O people my so let me warn you O Israel if you will listen to me.
9 there shall be no new god in you; neither shall you worship a strange god.
Not it will be among you a god strange and not you must bow down to a god of foreignness.
10 For I am the Lord your God, that brought you out of the land of Egypt: open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
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 listened not to my voice; and Israel gave no heed to me.
And not it listened people my to voice my and Israel not it yielded to me.
12 So I let them go after the ways of their own hearts: they will go on in their own ways.
And I gave over it in [the] stubbornness of heart their they walked in own schemes their.
13 If my people had listened to me, if Israel had walked in my ways,
If people my [will be] listening to me Israel in ways my they will walk.
14 I should have put down their enemies very quickly, and should have laid my hand upon those that afflicted them.
Like a little enemies their I will subdue and on opponents their I will turn hand my.
15 The Lord's enemies [should have] lied to him: but their time shall be for ever.
[those who] hate Yahweh They will cringe to him and may it be time their for ever.
16 And he fed them with the fat of wheat; and satisfied them with honey out of the rock.
And he fed him from [the] best of [the] wheat and from a rock honey I will satisfy you.
