Psalms 81

1 To the Chief Musician. On "the Gittith." Asaph’s. Shout ye for joy, unto God our strength, Sound the note of triumph, 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 Raise a melody, and strike the timbrel, The lyre so sweet, with the harp:

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

3 Blow, at the new moon, the horn, At the full moon, for the day of our sacred festival:

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

4 For, a statute to Israel, it is, A regulation, by the God of Jacob;

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

5 A testimony in Joseph, he appointed it, When he went forth over the land of Egypt: A language I liked not, used I to 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 took away, from the burden, his shoulder, his hands, from the clay, were set free.

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

7 In distress, thou didst cry, and I delivered thee, —I answered thee, within a hiding-place of thunder, I proved thee 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 will adjure 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 not be, within thee, a foreign GOD, —Neither shalt thou bow down 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, Yahweh, am thy God, Who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, —Open wide thy mouth, that I may 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, hearkened not, unto my voice, Even, Israel, inclined not unto me.

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

12 So then I let them go on in the stubbornness of their own heart, They might walk in their own counsels!

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

13 If, my people, were hearkening unto me, [If, ] Israel, in my ways, would walk,

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

14 Right soon, their foes, would I subdue, And, against their adversaries, would I turn my hand:

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

15 The haters of Yahweh, should come cringing unto him, Then let their own good time be age-abiding!

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

16 Then would he feed them from the marrow of the wheat, Yea, out of the rock—with honey, would I satisfy thee.

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