Psalms 81

1 To the choirmaster - on the Gittith of Asaph. Sing for joy to God strength our shout for joy to [the] God of Jacob.

Unto the end. For the wine and oil presses. A Psalm of Asaph himself. Exult before God our helper. Sing joyfully to the God of Jacob.

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

Take up a psalm, and bring forth the timbrel: a pleasing Psalter with stringed instruments.

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

Sound the trumpet at the new moon, on the noteworthy day of your solemnity,

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

for it is a precept in Israel and a judgment for the God of Jacob.

5 A testimony - in Joseph he established it when went out he on [the] land of Egypt a language [which] not I knew I heard.

He set it as a testimony with Joseph, when he went out of the land of Egypt. He heard a tongue that he did not know.

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

He turned the burdens away from his back. His hands had been a slave to baskets.

7 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)

You called upon me in tribulation, and I freed you. I heard you within the hidden tempest. I tested you with waters of contradiction.

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

My people, listen and I will call you to testify. If, O Israel, you will pay heed to me,

9 Not it will be among you a god strange and not you must bow down to a god of foreignness.

then there will be no new god among you, nor will you adore a foreign god.

10 I - [am] Yahweh God your who brought up you from [the] land of Egypt make large mouth your and I will fill it.

For I am the Lord your God, who led you out of the land of Egypt. Widen your mouth, and I will fill it.

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

But my people did not hear my voice, and Israel was not attentive to me.

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

And so, I sent them away, according to the desires of their heart. They will go forth according to their own inventions.

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

If my people had heard me, if Israel had walked in my ways,

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

I would have humbled their enemies, as if it were nothing, and I would have sent my hand upon those who troubled them.

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

The enemies of the Lord have lied to him, and their time will come, in every age.

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

And he fed them from the fat of the grain, and he saturated them with honey from the rock.
