Ps 81

FFor the choirmaster. According to Gittith. Of Asaph. Sing for joy to God our strength; make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob. (MT 81:2; LXX 80:1; LXX 80:2; Rahlfs 80:1; Rahlfs 80:2) לַמְנַצֵּ֬חַ ׀ עַֽל־הַגִּתִּ֬ית לְאָסָֽף׃ 2Lift up a song, strike the tambourine, play the sweet-sounding harp and lyre. (MT 81:3; LXX 80:3; Rahlfs 80:3) הַ֭רְנִינוּ לֵאלֹהִ֣ים עוּזֵּ֑נוּ הָ֝רִ֗יעוּ לֵאלֹהֵ֥י יַעֲקֹֽב׃ 3Sound the ram’s horn at the New Moon, and at the full moon on the day of our Feast. (MT 81:4; LXX 80:4; Rahlfs 80:4) שְֽׂאוּ־זִ֭מְרָה וּתְנוּ־תֹ֑ף כִּנּ֖וֹר נָעִ֣ים עִם־נָֽבֶל׃ 4For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob. (MT 81:5; LXX 80:5; Rahlfs 80:5) תִּקְע֣וּ בַחֹ֣דֶשׁ שׁוֹפָ֑ר בַּ֝כֵּ֗סֶה לְי֣וֹם חַגֵּֽנוּ׃ 5He ordained it as a testimony for Joseph when he went out over the land of Egypt, where I heard an unfamiliar language: (MT 81:6; LXX 80:6; Rahlfs 80:6) כִּ֤י חֹ֣ק לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל ה֑וּא מִ֝שְׁפָּ֗ט לֵאלֹהֵ֥י יַעֲקֹֽב׃ 6“I relieved his shoulder of the burden; his hands were freed from the basket. (MT 81:7; LXX 80:7; Rahlfs 80:7) עֵ֤דוּת ׀ בִּֽיה֘וֹסֵ֤ף שָׂמ֗וֹ בְּ֭צֵאתוֹ עַל־אֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרָ֑יִם שְׂפַ֖ת לֹא־יָדַ֣עְתִּי אֶשְׁמָֽע׃ 7You called out in distress, and I rescued you; I answered you from the cloud of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah (MT 81:8; LXX 80:8; Rahlfs 80:8) הֲסִיר֣וֹתִי מִסֵּ֣בֶל שִׁכְמ֑וֹ כַּ֝פָּ֗יו מִדּ֥וּד תַּעֲבֹֽרְנָה׃ 8Hear, O My people, and I will warn you: O Israel, if only you would listen to Me! (MT 81:9; LXX 80:9; Rahlfs 80:9) בַּצָּרָ֥ה קָרָ֗אתָ וָאֲחַ֫לְּצֶ֥ךָּ אֶ֭עֶנְךָ בְּסֵ֣תֶר רַ֑עַם אֶבְחָֽנְךָ֨ עַל־מֵ֖י מְרִיבָ֣ה סֶֽלָה׃ 9There must be no strange god among you, nor shall you bow to a foreign god. (MT 81:10; LXX 80:10; Rahlfs 80:10) שְׁמַ֣ע עַ֭מִּי וְאָעִ֣ידָה בָּ֑ךְ יִ֝שְׂרָאֵ֗ל אִם־תִּֽשְׁמַֽע־לִֽי׃ 10I am the Lord your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth, and I will fill it. (MT 81:11; LXX 80:11; Rahlfs 80:11) לֹֽא־יִהְיֶ֣ה בְ֭ךָ אֵ֣ל זָ֑ר וְלֹ֥א תִ֝שְׁתַּחֲוֶ֗ה לְאֵ֣ל נֵכָֽר׃ 11But My people would not listen to Me, and Israel would not obey Me. (MT 81:12; LXX 80:12; Rahlfs 80:12) אָנֹכִ֨י ׀ יְה֘וָ֤ה אֱלֹהֶ֗יךָ הַֽ֭מַּעַלְךָ מֵאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרָ֑יִם הַרְחֶב־פִּ֝֗יךָ וַאֲמַלְאֵֽהוּ׃ 12So I gave them up to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices. (MT 81:13; LXX 80:13; Rahlfs 80:13) וְלֹא־שָׁמַ֣ע עַמִּ֣י לְקוֹלִ֑י וְ֝יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל לֹא־אָ֥בָה לִֽי׃ 13If only My people would listen to Me, if Israel would follow My ways, (MT 81:14; LXX 80:14; Rahlfs 80:14) וָֽ֭אֲשַׁלְּחֵהוּ בִּשְׁרִיר֣וּת לִבָּ֑ם יֵ֝לְכ֗וּ בְּֽמוֹעֲצוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃ 14how soon I would subdue their enemies and turn My hand against their foes! (MT 81:15; LXX 80:15; Rahlfs 80:15) ל֗וּ עַ֭מִּי שֹׁמֵ֣עַֽ לִ֑י יִ֝שְׂרָאֵ֗ל בִּדְרָכַ֥י יְהַלֵּֽכוּ׃ 15Those who hate the Lord would feign obedience, and their doom would last forever. (MT 81:16; LXX 80:16; Rahlfs 80:16) כִּ֭מְעַט אוֹיְבֵיהֶ֣ם אַכְנִ֑יעַ וְעַ֥ל צָ֝רֵיהֶ֗ם אָשִׁ֥יב יָדִֽי׃ 16But I would feed you the finest wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.” (MT 81:17; LXX 80:17; Rahlfs 80:17) מְשַׂנְאֵ֣י יְ֭הוָה יְכַֽחֲשׁוּ־ל֑וֹ וִיהִ֖י עִתָּ֣ם לְעוֹלָֽם׃
