Psalmi 81

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Psalmus Asaph. Deus stetit in synagoga deorum ; in medio autem deos dijudicat.	1 For the leader; "upon the gittith." Of Asaph.
2 Usquequo judicatis iniquitatem, et facies peccatorum sumitis ?	2 Sing joyfully to God our strength; shout in triumph to the God of Jacob!
3 Judicate egeno et pupillo ; humilem et pauperem justificate.	3 Take up a melody, sound the timbrel, the sweet-sounding harp and lyre.
4 Eripite pauperem, et egenum de manu peccatoris liberate.	4 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the full moon, on our solemn feast.
5 Nescierunt, neque intellexerunt ; in tenebris ambulant : movebuntur omnia fundamenta terræ.	5 For this is a law in Israel, an edict of the God of Jacob,
6 Ego dixi : Dii estis, et filii Excelsi omnes.	6 Who made it a decree for Joseph when he came out of the land of Egypt. II I hear a new oracle:
7 Vos autem sicut homines moriemini, et sicut unus de principibus cadetis.	7 "I relieved their shoulders of the burden; their hands put down the basket.
8 Surge, Deus, judica terram, quoniam tu hæreditabis in omnibus gentibus.	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
	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."
