Tehillim 81
81
(For the one directing. On the gittis. Of Asaph)
1Sing with joy unto Elohim uzeinu (our strength); make a joyful noise unto Elohei Ya'akov.
2 Begin a song, and bring hither the tambourine, the pleasant kinnor (harp) with the nevel (lyre).
3 Blow the shofar at Rosh Chodesh, at the full moon, on Yom Chageinu.
4 For this was a chok for Yisroel, and a mishpat of the Elohei Ya'akov.
5 This He ordained in Yosef for an edut, when He went out over Eretz Mitzrayim; where a language of one not known did I hear.
6 I removed his shekhem (shoulder) from the burden; his hands were delivered from the basket.
7 In tzoros thou calledst, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the seter ra'am (secret place of thunder); I tested thee at the waters of Merivah. Selah
8 Shema, O My people, and I will admonish thee; O Yisroel, if thou wilt pay heed unto Me;
9 There shall no el zar (strange, foreign g-d) be among thee; neither shalt thou worship any el nechar (foreign g-d).
10 I am Hashem Eloheicha Who brought thee out of Eretz Mitzrayim; open thy mouth wide, I will fill it.
11 But My people would not pay heed to My voice; and Yisroel would have none of Me.
12 So I gave them up unto their own heartsʼ sherirut (stubbornness); and they walked in their own mo'atzot (counsels).
13 Oh that My people had paid heed unto Me, and Yisroel had walked in My ways!
14 I should soon have subdued their oyevim and turned My Yad (hand, power) against their adversaries.
15 The haters of Hashem should have cringed before Him; their et (time, fate, punishment) endures l'olam.
16 He would have fed them also with the finest of the chittah (wheat); and with devash (honey) from the Tzur would I have satisfied thee.

Psalms 81

Psalm 81
For the choir director; on the gittith; #81:0 Unknown musical term. by Asaph.
1Sing joyfully to God, our strength.
Shout happily to the God of Jacob.
2Begin a psalm, and strike a tambourine.
Play lyres and harps with their pleasant music.
3Blow the ram’s horn on the day of the new moon,
on the day of the full moon,
on our festival days.
4This is a law for Israel,
a legal decision from the God of Jacob.
5These are the instructions God set in place for Joseph
when Joseph rose to power over Egypt.
I heard a message I did not understand:
6“I removed the burden from his shoulder.
His hands were freed from the basket.
7When you were in trouble, you called out ⌞to me⌟, and I rescued you.
I was hidden in thunder, but I answered you.
I tested your ⌞loyalty⌟ at the oasis of Meribah. Selah
8Listen, my people, and I will warn you.
Israel, if you would only listen to me!
9Never keep any strange god among you.
Never worship a foreign god.
10I am the Lord your God, the one who brought you out of Egypt.
Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11“But my people did not listen to me.
Israel wanted nothing to do with me.
12So I let them go their own stubborn ways
and follow their own advice.
13If only my people would listen to me!
If only Israel would follow me!
14I would quickly defeat their enemies.
I would turn my power against their foes.
15Those who hate the Lord would cringe in front of him,
and their time ⌞for punishment⌟ would last forever.
16But I would feed Israel with the finest wheat
and satisfy them with honey from a rock.”
