Psalms 81

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 For the leader; "upon the gittith." Of Asaph.	1 ψαλμος τω ασαφ ο θεος εστη εν συναγωγη θεων εν μεσω δε θεους διακρινει
2 Sing joyfully to God our strength; shout in triumph to the God of Jacob!	2 εως ποτε κρινετε αδικιαν και προσωπα αμαρτωλων λαμβανετε διαψαλμα
3 Take up a melody, sound the timbrel, the sweet-sounding harp and lyre.	3 κρινατε ορφανον και πτωχον ταπεινον και πενητα δικαιωσατε
4 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the full moon, on our solemn feast.	4 εξελεσθε πενητα και πτωχον εκ χειρος αμαρτωλου ρυσασθε
5 For this is a law in Israel, an edict of the God of Jacob,	5 ουκ εγνωσαν ουδε συνηκαν εν σκοτει διαπορευονται σαλευθησονται παντα τα θεμελια της γης
6 Who made it a decree for Joseph when he came out of the land of Egypt. II I hear a new oracle:	6 εγω ειπα θεοι εστε και υιοι υψιστου παντες
7 "I relieved their shoulders of the burden; their hands put down the basket.	7 υμεις δε ως ανθρωποι αποθνησκετε και ως εις των αρχοντων πιπτετε
8 In distress you called and I rescued you; unseen, I spoke to you in thunder; At the waters of Meribah I tested you and said: Selah	8 αναστα ο θεος κρινον την γην οτι συ κατακληρονομησεις εν πασιν τοις εθνεσιν
9 'Listen, my people, I give you warning! If only you will obey me, Israel!
10 There must be no foreign god among you; you must not worship an alien god.
11 I, the LORD, am your God, who brought you up from the land of Egypt. Open wide your mouth that I may fill it.'
12 But my people did not listen to my words; Israel did not obey me.
13 So I gave them over to hardness of heart; they followed their own designs.
14 But even now if my people would listen, if Israel would walk in my paths,
15 In a moment I would subdue their foes, against their enemies unleash my hand.
16 Those who hate the LORD would tremble, their doom sealed forever.
17 But Israel I would feed with the finest wheat, satisfy them with honey from the rock."
