Psalm 81 (WEBP)

[1] Sing aloud to God, our strength! Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob!
[2] Raise a song, and bring here the tambourine, the pleasant lyre with the harp.
[3] Blow the trumpet at the New Moon, at the full moon, on our feast day.
[4] For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
[5] He appointed it in Joseph for a covenant, when he went out over the land of Egypt, I heard a language that I didn’t know.
[6] “I removed his shoulder from the burden. His hands were freed from the basket.
[7] You called in trouble, and I delivered you. I answered you in the secret place of thunder. I tested you at the waters of Meribah.” Selah.
[8] “Hear, my people, and I will testify to you, Israel, if you would listen to me!
[9] There shall be no strange god in you, neither shall you worship any foreign god.
[10] I am Yahweh, 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 didn’t listen to my voice. Israel desired none of me.
[12] So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, that they might walk in their own counsels.
[13] Oh 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 adversaries.
[15] The haters of Yahweh would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever.
[16] But he would have also fed them with the finest of the wheat. I will satisfy you with honey out of the rock.”

[1] [80:1] εις το τελος υπερ των ληνων τω ασαφ ψαλμος [80:2] αγαλλιασθε τω θεω τω βοηθω ημων αλαλαξατε τω θεω ιακωβ
[2] [80:3] λαβετε ψαλμον και δοτε τυμπανον ψαλτηριον τερπνον μετα κιθαρας
[3] [80:4] σαλπισατε εν νεομηνια σαλπιγγι εν ευσημω ημερα εορτης ημων
[4] [80:5] οτι προσταγμα τω ισραηλ εστιν και κριμα τω θεω ιακωβ
[5] [80:6] μαρτυριον εν τω ιωσηφ εθετο αυτον εν τω εξελθειν αυτον εκ γης αιγυπτου γλωσσαν ην ουκ εγνω ηκουσεν
[6] [80:7] απεστησεν απο αρσεων τον νωτον αυτου αι χειρες αυτου εν τω κοφινω εδουλευσαν
[7] [80:8] εν θλιψει επεκαλεσω με και ερρυσαμην σε επηκουσα σου εν αποκρυφω καταιγιδος εδοκιμασα σε επι υδατος αντιλογιας διαψαλμα
[8] [80:9] ακουσον λαος μου και διαμαρτυρομαι σοι ισραηλ εαν ακουσης μου
[9] [80:10] ουκ εσται εν σοι θεος προσφατος ουδε προσκυνησεις θεω αλλοτριω
[10] [80:11] εγω γαρ ειμι κυριος ο θεος σου ο αναγαγων σε εκ γης αιγυπτου πλατυνον το στομα σου και πληρωσω αυτο
[11] [80:12] και ουκ ηκουσεν ο λαος μου της φωνης μου και ισραηλ ου προσεσχεν μοι
[12] [80:13] και εξαπεστειλα αυτους κατα τα επιτηδευματα των καρδιων αυτων πορευσονται εν τοις επιτηδευμασιν αυτων
[13] [80:14] ει ο λαος μου ηκουσεν μου ισραηλ ταις οδοις μου ει επορευθη
[14] [80:15] εν τω μηδενι αν τους εχθρους αυτων εταπεινωσα και επι τους θλιβοντας αυτους επεβαλον την χειρα μου
[15] [80:16] οι εχθροι κυριου εψευσαντο αυτω και εσται ο καιρος αυτων εις τον αιωνα
[16] [80:17] και εψωμισεν αυτους εκ στεατος πυρου και εκ πετρας μελι εχορτασεν αυτους
