Psalms 81:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 For the music director; according to the gittith style; by Asaph. Shout for joy to God, our source of strength! Shout out to the God of Jacob!
2 Sing a song and play the tambourine, the pleasant sounding harp, and the ten-stringed instrument!
3 Sound the ram's horn on the day of the new moon, and on the day of the full moon when our festival begins.
4 For observing the festival is a requirement for Israel; it is an ordinance given by the God of Jacob.
5 He decreed it as a regulation in Joseph, when he attacked the land of Egypt. I heard a voice I did not recognize.
6 It said: "I removed the burden from his shoulder; his hands were released from holding the basket.
7 In your distress you called out and I rescued you. I answered you from a dark thundercloud. I tested you at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
8 I said, 'Listen, my people! I will warn you! O Israel, if only you would obey me!
9 There must be no other god among you. You must not worship a foreign god.
10 I am the LORD, your God, the one who brought you out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide and I will fill it!'
11 But my people did not obey me; Israel did not submit to me.
12 I gave them over to their stubborn desires; they did what seemed right to them.
13 If only my people would obey me! If only Israel would keep my commands!
14 Then I would quickly subdue their enemies, and attack their adversaries."
15 (May those who hate the LORD cower in fear before him! May they be permanently humiliated!)
16 "I would feed Israel the best wheat, and would satisfy your appetite with honey from the rocky cliffs."
1 To the chief Musician H5329 upon H5921 Gittith, H1665 A Psalm of Asaph. H623 Sing aloud H7442 unto God H430 our strength: H5797 make a joyful noise H7321 unto the God H430 of Jacob. H3290
2 Take H5375 a psalm, H2172 and bring H5414 hither the timbrel, H8596 the pleasant H5273 harp H3658 with H5973 the psaltery. H5035
3 Blow up H8628 the trumpet H7782 in the new moon, H2320 in the time appointed, H3677 on our solemn feast H2282 day. H3117
4 For H3588 this H1931 was a statute H2706 for Israel, H3478 and a law H4941 of the God H430 of Jacob. H3290
5 This he ordained H7760 in Joseph H3084 for a testimony, H5715 when he went out H3318 through H5921 the land H776 of Egypt: H4714 where I heard H8085 a language H8193 that I understood H3045 not. H3808
6 I removed H5493 his shoulder H7926 from the burden H4480 H5447 : his hands H3709 were delivered H5674 from the pots H4480 H1731 .
7 Thou calledst H7121 in trouble, H6869 and I delivered H2502 thee ; I answered H6030 thee in the secret place H5643 of thunder: H7482 I proved H974 thee at H5921 the waters H4325 of Meribah. H4809 Selah. H5542
8 Hear H8085 , O my people, H5971 and I will testify H5749 unto thee : O Israel, H3478 if H518 thou wilt hearken H8085 unto me;
9 There shall no H3808 strange H2114 god H410 be H1961 in thee; neither H3808 shalt thou worship H7812 any strange H5236 god. H410
10 I H595 am the LORD H3068 thy God, H430 which brought H5927 thee out of the land H4480 H776 of Egypt: H4714 open thy mouth H6310 wide, H7337 and I will fill H4390 it.
11 But my people H5971 would not H3808 hearken H8085 to my voice; H6963 and Israel H3478 would H14 none H3808 of me.
12 So I gave them up H7971 unto their own hearts' H3820 lust: H8307 and they walked H1980 in their own counsels. H4156
13 Oh that H3863 my people H5971 had hearkened H8085 unto me, and Israel H3478 had walked H1980 in my ways H1870 !
14 I should soon H4592 have subdued H3665 their enemies, H341 and turned H7725 my hand H3027 against H5921 their adversaries. H6862
15 The haters H8130 of the LORD H3068 should have submitted H3584 themselves unto him : but their time H6256 should have endured H1961 forever. H5769
16 He should have fed H398 them also with the finest H4480 H2459 of the wheat: H2406 and with honey H1706 out of the rock H4480 H6697 should I have satisfied H7646 thee.
