Psalms 81
1 To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. [A Psalm] of Asaph. Sing ye joyously unto God our strength, shout aloud unto the God of Jacob;
Cantád a Dios nuestra fortaleza: cantád con júbilo al Dios de Jacob.
2 Raise a song, and sound the tambour, the pleasant harp with the lute.
Tomád la canción, y dad al adufe: a la arpa de alegría, con el salterio.
3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the set time, on our feast day:
Tocád la trompeta en la nueva luna, en el día señalado: en el día de nuestra solemnidad.
4 For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob;
Porque estatuto es de Israel: juicio del Dios de Jacob.
5 He ordained it in Joseph [for] a testimony, when he went forth over the land of Egypt, [where] I heard a language that I knew not.
Por testimonio en José le ha constituido, cuando salió sobre la tierra de Egipto: donde oí lenguaje que no entendía.
6 I removed his shoulder from the burden; his hands were freed from the basket.
Quité entonces su hombro de debajo de la carga: sus manos se quitaron de las ollas.
7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
En la angustia llamaste, y yo te libré; te respondí en el secreto del trueno; te probé sobre las aguas de Meriba. (Selah)
8 Hear, my people, and I will testify unto thee; O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto me!
Oye, pueblo mío, y protestarte he: Israel, si me oyeres;
9 There shall no strange god be in thee, neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.
No habrá en ti dios ajeno: ni te encorvarás a dios extraño.
10 I am Jehovah thy God, that brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Yo soy Jehová tu Dios, que te hice subir de la tierra de Egipto: ensancha tu boca, y henchirla he.
11 But my people hearkened not to my voice, and Israel would none of me.
Mas mi pueblo no oyó mi voz: e Israel no me quiso a mí.
12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' stubbornness: they walked after their own counsels.
Y dejélos a la dureza de su corazón; caminaron en sus consejos.
13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, that Israel had walked in my ways!
¡O si mi pueblo me oyera, si Israel anduviera en mis caminos!
14 I would soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
En nada derribara yo a sus enemigos: y volviera mi mano sobre sus adversarios.
15 The haters of Jehovah would have come cringing unto him; but their time would have been for ever.
Los aborrecedores de Jehová le hubieran mentido: y el tiempo de ellos fuera para siempre.
16 And he would have fed them with the finest of wheat; yea, with honey out of the rock would I have satisfied thee.
Y Dios le hubiera mantenido de grosura de trigo: y de miel de la piedra te hubiera hartado.
