Psalms 81

KING JAMES BIBLE	STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH
1 Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.	1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ ׀ עַל־הַגִּתִּית לְאָסָף
2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.	2 הַרְנִינוּ לֵאלֹהִים עוּזֵּנוּ הָרִיעוּ לֵאלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב
3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.	3 שְׂאוּ־זִמְרָה וּתְנוּ־תֹף כִּנֹּור נָעִים עִם־נָבֶל
4 For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.	4 תִּקְעוּ בַחֹדֶשׁ שֹׁופָר בַּכֵּסֶה לְיֹום חַגֵּנוּ
5 This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.	5 כִּי חֹק לְיִשְׂרָאֵל הוּא מִשְׁפָּט לֵאלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב
6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.	6 עֵדוּת ׀ בִּיהֹוסֵף שָׂמֹו בְּצֵאתֹו עַל־אֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם שְׂפַת לֹא־יָדַעְתִּי אֶשְׁמָע
7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.	7 הֲסִירֹותִי מִסֵּבֶל שִׁכְמֹו כַּפָּיו מִדּוּד תַּעֲבֹרְנָה
8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;	8 בַּצָּרָה קָרָאתָ וָאֲחַלְּצֶךָּ אֶעֶנְךָ בְּסֵתֶר רַעַם אֶבְחָנְךָ עַל־מֵי מְרִיבָה סֶלָה
9 There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.	9 שְׁמַע עַמִּי וְאָעִידָה בָּךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל אִם־תִּשְׁמַע־לִי
10 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.	10 לֹא־יִהְיֶה בְךָ אֵל זָר וְלֹא תִשְׁתַּחֲוֶה לְאֵל נֵכָר
11 But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.	11 אָנֹכִי ׀ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ הַמַּעַלְךָ מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם הַרְחֶב־פִּיךָ וַאֲמַלְאֵהוּ
12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels.	12 וְלֹא־שָׁמַע עַמִּי לְקֹולִי וְיִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא־אָבָה לִי
13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!	13 וָאֲשַׁלְּחֵהוּ בִּשְׁרִירוּת לִבָּם יֵלְכוּ בְּמֹועֲצֹותֵיהֶם
14 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.	14 לוּ עַמִּי שֹׁמֵעַ לִי יִשְׂרָאֵל בִּדְרָכַי יְהַלֵּכוּ
15 The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.	15 כִּמְעַט אֹויְבֵיהֶם אַכְנִיעַ וְעַל צָרֵיהֶם אָשִׁיב יָדִי
16 He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.	16 מְשַׂנְאֵי יְהוָה יְכַחֲשׁוּ־לֹו וִיהִי עִתָּם לְעֹולָם
	17 וַיַּאֲכִילֵהוּ מֵחֵלֶב חִטָּה וּמִצּוּר דְּבַשׁ אַשְׂבִּיעֶךָ
