Psalms 81

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	BIBBIA TINTORI
1 To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith. A Psalm of Asaph. Sing aloud to God our strength; shout for joy to the God of Jacob!	1 Dio si alza nell'assemblea. degli dèi, in mezzo agli dèi pronunzia la sua sentenza.
2 Raise a song, sound the timbrel, the sweet lyre with the harp.	2 «Fino a quando pronunzierete sentenze ingiuste ed userete parzialità cogli empi?
3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the full moon, on our feast day.	3 Giudicate in favore del bisognoso e dell'orfano, rendete giustizia all'umile e al povero.
4 For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.	4 Salvate il povero e l'indigente strappatelo dalla mano degli iniqui ».
5 He made it a decree in Joseph, when he went out over the land of Egypt. I hear a voice I had not known:	5 Non conoscono, non capiscono, camminano nelle tenebre. Sono scossi tutti i fondamenti del la terra.
6 "I relieved your shoulder of the burden; your hands were freed from the basket.	6 Io dissi: « Voi siete dèi e figli butti dell'Altissimo.
7 In distress you called, and I delivered you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. [Selah]	7 Eppure morrete come gli altri uomini e cadrete come un principe qualunque ».
8 Hear, O my people, while I admonish you! O Israel, if you would but listen to me!	8 Sorgi, o Dio, giudica la terra, perchè tu hai il dominio su tutte le nazioni.
9 There shall be no strange god among you; you shall not bow down to a foreign god.
10 I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11 "But my people did not listen to my voice; Israel would have none of me.
12 So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts, to follow their own counsels.
13 O that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways!
14 I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn my hand against their foes.
15 Those who hate the LORD would cringe toward him, and their fate would last for ever.
16 I would feed you with the finest of the wheat, and with honey from the rock I would satisfy you."
