< Psalms 81 >
1 Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto 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 bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
Lift up music and beat a tambourine a harp pleasant with a lyre.
3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
Blow at the new moon a ram's horn at the full moon to [the] day of festival our.
4 For this was a statute 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 This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I 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 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.
I removed from a burden shoulder his hands his from a basket they passed away.
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)
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, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;
Listen O people my so let me warn you O Israel if you will listen to me.
9 There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.
Not it will be among you a god strange and not you must bow down to a god of foreignness.
10 I am Yhwh thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy 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 would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.
And not it listened people my to voice my and Israel not it yielded to me.
12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust: and they walked in their own counsels.
And I gave over it in [the] stubbornness of heart their they walked in own schemes their.
13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!
If people my [will be] listening to me Israel in ways my they will walk.
14 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
Like a little enemies their I will subdue and on opponents their I will turn hand my.
15 The haters of Yhwh should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.
[those who] hate Yahweh They will cringe to him and may it be time their for ever.
16 He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
And he fed him from [the] best of [the] wheat and from a rock honey I will satisfy you.
