Psalms 81

1 TO THE OVERSEER. ON THE GITTITH. BY ASAPH. Cry aloud to God our strength, Shout 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 Lift up a song, and give out a timbrel, A pleasant harp with stringed instrument.

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

3 Blow a horn in the month, In the new moon, at the day of our festival,

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

4 For it [is] a statute to Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob.

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

5 He has placed it—a testimony on Joseph, In his going forth over the land of Egypt. A lip, I have not known—I hear.

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 turned aside his shoulder from the burden, His hands pass over from the basket.

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

7 In distress you have called and I deliver you, I answer you in the secret place of thunder, I try you by 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 testify to you, O Israel, if you listen to me:

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

9 There is not in you a strange god, And you do not bow yourself to a 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] your God YHWH, Who brings you up out of the land of Egypt. Enlarge your mouth, and I 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 did not listen to My voice, And Israel has not consented to Me.

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

12 And I send them away in the enmity of their heart, They walk in their own counsels.

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

13 O that My people were listening to Me, Israel would walk in My ways.

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

14 As a little thing I cause their enemies to bow, And I turn back My hand against their adversaries,

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

15 Those hating YHWH should have feigned [obedience] to Him, And their time would last for all time.

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

16 He causes him to eat of the fat of wheat, And I satisfy you [with] honey from a rock!

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