תהילים 81

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

TO THE OVERSEER. ON THE GITTITH. BY ASAPH. Cry aloud to God our strength, Shout to the God of Jacob.

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

Lift up a song, and give out a timbrel, A pleasant harp with stringed instrument.

3 תִּקְעוּ בַחֹדֶשׁ שׁוֹפָר בַּכֵּסֶה לְיוֹם חַגֵּֽנוּ׃

Blow a horn in the month, In the new moon, at the day of our festival,

4 כִּי חֹק לְיִשְׂרָאֵל הוּא מִשְׁפָּט לֵאלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹֽב׃

For it [is] a statute to Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob.

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

He has placed it—a testimony on Joseph, In his going forth over the land of Egypt. A lip, I have not known—I hear.

6 הֲסִירוֹתִי מִסֵּבֶל שִׁכְמוֹ כַּפָּיו מִדּוּד תַּעֲבֹֽרְנָה׃

I turned aside his shoulder from the burden, His hands pass over from the basket.

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

In distress you have called and I deliver you, I answer you in the secret place of thunder, I try you by the waters of Meribah. (Selah)

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

Hear, O My people, and I testify to you, O Israel, if you listen to me:

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

There is not in you a strange god, And you do not bow yourself to a strange god.

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

I [am] your God YHWH, Who brings you up out of the land of Egypt. Enlarge your mouth, and I fill it.

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

But My people did not listen to My voice, And Israel has not consented to Me.

12 וָֽאֲשַׁלְּחֵהוּ בִּשְׁרִירוּת לִבָּם יֵלְכוּ בְּֽמוֹעֲצוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃

And I send them away in the enmity of their heart, They walk in their own counsels.

13 לוּ עַמִּי שֹׁמֵעַֽ לִי יִשְׂרָאֵל בִּדְרָכַי יְהַלֵּֽכוּ׃

O that My people were listening to Me, Israel would walk in My ways.

14 כִּמְעַט אוֹיְבֵיהֶם אַכְנִיעַ וְעַל צָרֵיהֶם אָשִׁיב יָדִֽי׃

As a little thing I cause their enemies to bow, And I turn back My hand against their adversaries,

15 מְשַׂנְאֵי יְהוָה יְכַֽחֲשׁוּ־לוֹ וִיהִי עִתָּם לְעוֹלָֽם׃

Those hating YHWH should have feigned [obedience] to Him, And their time would last for all time.

16 וֽ͏ַיַּאֲכִילֵהוּ מֵחֵלֶב חִטָּה וּמִצּוּר דְּבַשׁ אַשְׂבִּיעֶֽךָ׃

He causes him to eat of the fat of wheat, And I satisfy you [with] honey from a rock!
