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.

Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.

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

Take a psalm, and bring here the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.

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

Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.

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

For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of 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.

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.

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

I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.

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 in trouble, and I delivered you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder: I proved you at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)

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

Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto you: O Israel, if you will hearken unto me;

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

There shall no strange god be in you; neither shall you worship any strange 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.

I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt: open your mouth wide, 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 would not hearken to my voice; and Israel refused me.

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

So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels.

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

Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and 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 should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.

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

The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.

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

He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied you.
