Psalm 81 Complete Jewish Bible

81 ⁽⁰⁾For the Leader. On the gittit. By Asaf:

²⁽¹⁾Sing for joy to God our strength!
Shout to the God of Ya‘akov!
³⁽²⁾Start the music! Beat the drum!
Play the sweet lyre and the lute!
⁴⁽³⁾Sound the shofar at Rosh-Hodesh
and at full moon for the pilgrim feast,
⁵⁽⁴⁾because this is a law for Isra’el,
a ruling of the God of Ya‘akov.
⁶⁽⁵⁾He placed it as a testimony in Y’hosef
when he went out against the land of Egypt.

I heard an unfamiliar voice say,
⁷⁽⁶⁾“I lifted the load from his shoulder;
his hands were freed from the [laborer’s] basket.
⁸⁽⁷⁾You called out when you were in trouble,
and I rescued you;
I answered you from the thundercloud;
I tested you at the M’rivah Spring [by saying,] (Selah)

⁹⁽⁸⁾“‘Hear, my people, while I give you warning!
Isra’el, if you would only listen to me!
¹⁰⁽⁹⁾There is not to be with you any foreign god;
you are not to worship an alien god.
¹¹⁽¹⁰⁾I am Adonai your God,
who brought you up from the land of Egypt.
Open your mouth, and I will fill it.’

¹²⁽¹¹⁾“But my people did not listen to my voice;
Isra’el would have none of me.
¹³⁽¹²⁾So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts,
to live by their own plans.
¹⁴⁽¹³⁾How I wish my people would listen to me,
that Isra’el would live by my ways!
¹⁵⁽¹⁴⁾I would quickly subdue their enemies
and turn my hand against their foes.
¹⁶⁽¹⁵⁾Those who hate Adonai would cringe before him,
while [Isra’el’s] time would last forever.
¹⁷⁽¹⁶⁾They would be fed with the finest wheat,
and I would satisfy you with honey from the rocks.”
