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.

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;

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

Raise a melody, and strike the timbrel, The lyre so sweet, with the harp:

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

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

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

For, a statute to Israel, it is, A regulation, by 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.

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;

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

I took away, from the burden, his shoulder, his hands, from the clay, were set free.

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)

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)

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 adjure thee, O Israel, if thou wilt 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 not be, within thee, a foreign GOD, —Neither shalt thou bow down to a 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, Yahweh, am thy God, Who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, —Open wide thy mouth, that I may fill it.

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

But my people, hearkened not, unto my voice, Even, Israel, inclined not unto me.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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