תהילים 81

1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ ׀ עַֽל־הַגִּתִּית לְאָסָֽף׃ הַרְנִינוּ לֵאלֹהִים עוּזֵּנוּ הָרִיעוּ לֵאלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹֽב׃

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

2 שְֽׂאוּ־זִמְרָה וּתְנוּ־תֹף כִּנּוֹר נָעִים עִם־נָֽבֶל׃

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

3 תִּקְעוּ בַחֹדֶשׁ שׁוֹפָר בַּכֵּסֶה לְיוֹם חַגֵּֽנוּ׃

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

4 כִּי חֹק לְיִשְׂרָאֵל הוּא מִשְׁפָּט לֵאלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹֽב׃

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

5 עֵדוּת ׀ בִּיהוֹסֵף שָׂמוֹ בְּצֵאתוֹ עַל־אֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם שְׂפַת לֹא־יָדַעְתִּי אֶשְׁמָֽע׃

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 הֲסִירוֹתִי מִסֵּבֶל שִׁכְמוֹ כַּפָּיו מִדּוּד תַּעֲבֹֽרְנָה׃

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

7 בַּצָּרָה קָרָאתָ וָאֲחַלְּצֶךָּ אֶעֶנְךָ בְּסֵתֶר רַעַם אֶבְחׇנְךָ עַל־מֵי מְרִיבָה סֶֽלָה׃

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 שְׁמַע עַמִּי וְאָעִידָה בָּךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל אִם־תִּֽשְׁמַֽע־לִֽי׃

Hear, O my people, and I will testify to you: O Israel, if you will listen to me;

9 לֹא־יִהְיֶה בְךָ אֵל זָר וְלֹא תִשְׁתַּחֲוֶה לְאֵל נֵכָֽר׃

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

10 אָֽנֹכִי ׀ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ הַֽמַּעַלְךָ מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם הַרְחֶב־פִּיךָ וַאֲמַלְאֵֽהוּ׃

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 וְלֹֽא־שָׁמַע עַמִּי לְקוֹלִי וְיִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא־אָבָה לִֽי׃

But my people would not listen to my voice; and Israel would none of me.

12 וָאֲשַׁלְּחֵהוּ בִּשְׁרִירוּת לִבָּם יֵלְכוּ בְּֽמוֹעֲצוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃

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

13 לוּ עַמִּי שֹׁמֵעַֽ לִי יִשְׂרָאֵל בִּדְרָכַי יְהַלֵּֽכוּ׃

Oh that my people had listened to me, and Israel had walked in my ways!

14 כִּמְעַט אוֹיְבֵיהֶם אַכְנִיעַ וְעַל צָרֵיהֶם אָשִׁיב יָדִֽי׃

I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.

15 מְשַׂנְאֵי יְהֹוָה יְכַחֲשׁוּ־לוֹ וִיהִי עִתָּם לְעוֹלָֽם׃

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

16 וַֽיַּאֲכִילֵהוּ מֵחֵלֶב חִטָּה וּמִצּוּר דְּבַשׁ אַשְׂבִּיעֶֽךָ׃

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