Salmos 81

1 Cantád a Dios nuestra fortaleza: cantád con júbilo al Dios de Jacob.

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

2 Tomád la canción, y dad al adufe: a la arpa de alegría, con el salterio.

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

3 Tocád la trompeta en la nueva luna, en el día señalado: en el día de nuestra solemnidad.

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

4 Porque estatuto es de Israel: juicio del Dios de Jacob.

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

5 Por testimonio en José le ha constituido, cuando salió sobre la tierra de Egipto: donde oí lenguaje que no entendía.

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 Quité entonces su hombro de debajo de la carga: sus manos se quitaron de las ollas.

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

7 En la angustia llamaste, y yo te libré; te respondí en el secreto del trueno; te probé sobre las aguas de Meriba. (Selah)

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 Oye, pueblo mío, y protestarte he: Israel, si me oyeres;

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

9 No habrá en ti dios ajeno: ni te encorvarás a dios extraño.

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

10 Yo soy Jehová tu Dios, que te hice subir de la tierra de Egipto: ensancha tu boca, y henchirla he.

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

11 Mas mi pueblo no oyó mi voz: e Israel no me quiso a mí.

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

12 Y dejélos a la dureza de su corazón; caminaron en sus consejos.

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

13 ¡O si mi pueblo me oyera, si Israel anduviera en mis caminos!

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

14 En nada derribara yo a sus enemigos: y volviera mi mano sobre sus adversarios.

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

15 Los aborrecedores de Jehová le hubieran mentido: y el tiempo de ellos fuera para siempre.

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

16 Y Dios le hubiera mantenido de grosura de trigo: y de miel de la piedra te hubiera hartado.

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