תהילים 81

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

For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. By Asaph. Sing aloud to God, our strength! Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob!

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

Raise a song, and bring here the tambourine, the pleasant lyre with the harp.

3 תִּקְעוּ בַחֹדֶשׁ שׁוֹפָר בַּכֵּסֶה לְיוֹם חַגֵּֽנוּ׃

Blow the trumpet at the New Moon, at the full moon, on our feast day.

4 כִּי חֹק לְיִשְׂרָאֵל הוּא מִשְׁפָּט לֵאלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹֽב׃

For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.

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

He appointed it in Joseph for a covenant, when he went out over the land of Egypt, I heard a language that I did not know.

6 הֲסִירוֹתִי מִסֵּבֶל שִׁכְמוֹ כַּפָּיו מִדּוּד תַּעֲבֹֽרְנָה׃

“I removed his shoulder from the burden. His hands were freed from the basket.

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

You called in trouble, and I delivered you. I answered you in the secret place of thunder. I tested you at the waters of Meribah.” (Selah)

8 שְׁמַע עַמִּי וְאָעִידָה בָּךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל אִם־תִּֽשְׁמַֽע־לִֽי׃

“Hear, my people, and I will testify to you, Israel, if you would listen to me!

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

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

10 אָנֹכִי ׀ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ הַֽמַּעַלְךָ מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם הַרְחֶב־פִּיךָ וַאֲמַלְאֵֽהוּ׃

I am the LORD, your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

11 וְלֹא־שָׁמַע עַמִּי לְקוֹלִי וְיִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא־אָבָה לִֽי׃

But my people did not listen to my voice. Israel desired none of me.

12 וָֽאֲשַׁלְּחֵהוּ בִּשְׁרִירוּת לִבָּם יֵלְכוּ בְּֽמוֹעֲצוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃

So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, that they might walk in their own counsels.

13 לוּ עַמִּי שֹׁמֵעַֽ לִי יִשְׂרָאֵל בִּדְרָכַי יְהַלֵּֽכוּ׃

Oh that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways!

14 כִּמְעַט אוֹיְבֵיהֶם אַכְנִיעַ וְעַל צָרֵיהֶם אָשִׁיב יָדִֽי׃

I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn my hand against their adversaries.

15 מְשַׂנְאֵי יְהוָה יְכַֽחֲשׁוּ־לוֹ וִיהִי עִתָּם לְעוֹלָֽם׃

The haters of the LORD would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever.

16 וֽ͏ַיַּאֲכִילֵהוּ מֵחֵלֶב חִטָּה וּמִצּוּר דְּבַשׁ אַשְׂבִּיעֶֽךָ׃

But he would have also fed them with the finest of the wheat. I will satisfy you with honey out of the rock.”
